If you were Andy Palmer, you'd know about their previous modern turbo project because you'd have commissioned it around 2013.
Cosworth NV.
Also, their 1.6 F1 straight-four, HK, got into a road car that almost made it to production.

To me, Cosworth are not that bad; better recent track record than AER or Judd, behind TEOS-Mecachrome (they engineered the P.U.R.E project) or the design talent at VAG or BMW; but outside of hiring a genial free agent like Mario Illien, I can't think of better solutions.
