The main issue that I see with this is that it's going to be a huge pain in the ass to actually do. The F1 engines were designed with an electric-turbo in mind, a Prius doesn't have any form of forced induction. There are electric superchargers around that can be powered with 36V batteries that aren't too expensive that give you a solid 10% boost, but you'll need to figure out the tuning, the plumbing changes (EGR, PCV, etc.), where to put the thing, etc. The only effort you save is that you can pull energy directly from the Prius battery instead of installing a drive belt or secondary battery system.
