This sounds like you're talking about Mercedes' Formula 1 technology 
known as ERS-H (Energy Recovery System - Heat). There are two different 
ER systems on an F1 car, the ERS-H and the ERS-K (ERS - Kinetic). The 
Kinetic one recovers the energy of braking and puts it back into the 
battery.

The ERS-Heat is the one which takes the spin of the turbocharger, and 
converts it into electricity and stores it back into the battery. It 
also has the additional benefit of taking the electricity out of the 
battery and spinning the turbo back up when the throttle is closed, 
which eliminates all turbo lag. ERS-H is also known as e-turbo in road 
cars.

Subaru just updated all of their engines to the next generation, gone 
are the old 4-cylinder engines (EJ-series, 2.0L & 2.5L) and the old 
6-cylinder engines (EZ-series, 3.0L & 3.6L). They've both been replaced 
by the new 4-cylinder FA-series (2.0L & 2.4L, including turbo versions). 
The 2.4L Turbo replaces the old 6-cyl 3.6L naturally aspirated. But the 
turbos are conventional turbos, not e-turbos.
