Stellantis’ Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division is developing a prototype powertrain add-on called “eBoost Air,” aimed at reducing turbo lag in forced-induction engines. Multiple reports say the system is designed to provide immediate low-end boost using an electric compressor, rather than waiting for exhaust gases to spool a conventional turbocharger. The concept is described as adding an e-compressor alongside an existing twin-turbo setup, with the goal of bridging the responsiveness gap between low engine speeds and the point where traditional turbochargers deliver sustained boost. One source specifically links the approach to Stellantis’ Hurricane inline-six engine architecture, noting the use of an added e-compressor to complement the twin-turbo Hurricane configuration. Together, the accounts characterize eBoost Air as a working prototype intended to improve throttle response by delivering “instantaneous” boost at lower rpm while conventional exhaust-driven boosting takes over as engine conditions change. Both reports focus on the technology’s purpose and its intended effect rather than production timing or final performance figures.

- SRT, a Stellantis division, develops a prototype technology called “eBoost Air.”
- The system uses an electric compressor to deliver boost quickly at low engine speeds.
- It is intended to reduce or eliminate turbo lag by bridging the gap before conventional turbo boost takes over.
- Reports describe the technology as being paired with a twin-turbo, forced-induction engine setup (including references to the Hurricane inline-six architecture).
Stellantis’ Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division has developed a working prototype system designed to eliminate turbo lag on its forced-induction engines. Called "eBoost Air," the technology uses an electric compressor to deliver instantaneous low-end boost, bridging the responsiveness gap before conventional exhaust-driven turbochargers take over.
