Hi Doax,
Actually, it's not about how to power an electric air pump. That can be
done just with the normal electrical system if necessary.I only mention it
because my car dumps way too much heat being twin-turbo and all.
Volkswagon, on their new cars, use a lot of supercharging and turbocharging
to make them more fuel efficient.
Here's some DIY system for forced induction links:
-
DIY supercharger with leaf blower... - AnandTech Forums
-
Leaf Blower supercharger + NOS! You gotta see this!!! - Automotive Message Forums
Since electric leaf blowers are for sale on ebay here for about $5
it seems like an interesting option.
