Regulated 2-stage turbocharging (R2S™)

Lancia "stole your idea" 21 years ago. I'm sure it was "stolen" prior to that date, too.

Staged compression has been around at least since the 1930's, and variable inlet guide vanes have been around at least since the 1950's. Sorry to burst your beer bubble.
