Ok, heres my idea. Build an electric blower that produces 5-7 pounds of boost and is powered by the car's battery. It can be turned on or off by a switch in the car and it blows air directly into the intake manifold. There would be an intake tube that splits off into a "Y". The blower attaches to one leg and a filter to the other, just like it would w/ a normal short ram intake. This way when the blower isn't in use the air can be taken in through the leg with only the filter so there wouldn't be the problem of air blockage like with sucky cheap electric fan turbos (i.e. the turbonator). Then when the blower is switched on it would force extra air into the intake.

So there it is. I have a rough sketch of the idea in my profile. Please give me some input:suggestions, concerns, reasons it wouldn't work, good, bad, whatever. Thanx. No flaming please.

sounds like the leaf blower mod. Last time I was at the track, a cvic w/o a hood was in the burnout contest and had the leaf0blower-charger mod
