Looks like a hybrid design - probably to get the best of both worlds (and in reality weighing about as much as both put together) :wink:

Not seen one before...

Looks like a homemade design by welding a turbo to a pulley - I suppose it's really a two stage device - low pressure supercharger feeding a turbocharged compressor.

It might be useful as an anchor or a large paperweight - I cannot imagine it fitted to an elise - perhaps the pink pig?

Cheers,
Robin
