The capacity and the engine layout are the least interesting bit- the exciting part is the turbine - no wastegate, excess boost pressure avoided by a kinetic recovery system (aka a Dynamo) on the shaft, boost threshold/onset changed by spooling the turbo via the same mechanism before exhaust pressure has built up etc etc.
If any of this stuff could be transferred to the road cars it'd be awesome.
