Storing turbo pressure to provide a burst of air that spools the turbo up to speed faster from idle sounds like a good idea. The compressed air could come from an electric compressor, as in Volvo's system, or could be bled off the turbo system continuously and stored in a small tank for an extra burst during spool-up. This seems better than powering the turbo continuously by electric or belt drive (supercharging) because it's only for a few seconds that you need the power boost.
This sytem was expesive ($20K) and "way too costly to actual implement"

There are many potential problems with the method, though
-have to disable the engine computer
-additional air makes the mixture lean, if added on the intake side
-may force exhaust gases back into the cylinder
