Interesting Jon.

Years ago, while watching part of a Sebring race running at night, I 
noticed the
turbo  Porsche's would produce a very long stack flame when entering a 
corner.
I also remember they were reported to have instant throttle response. I 
think
they were the first to figure out how to do it.

I love all of this amazing high tech stuff,
Bryan
