This is obviously not for the anti-electric turbo people, but if you do want an electric turbo or are not sure what to think about it. Check out these websites. Sounds like these turbos really work, but I dont know about the durability. Sorry if these websites have been posted already.

Since its main deficiency is slowing the airflow at high rpms, why not just modify it so that the fan is able to be pulled out of the intake tube once you reach high rpm? Im not suggesting this, but for example you could just have a sort of drop in fan tied to a cable and have it hinged or have it on a rotating arm and when you pull the fan out of place a section of 3" tubing could swing in to fill the space where the fan was. The cable could be run through the firewall for you to pull at your leisure.
 I wouldnt recommend that anyone do this, but just an example of a very basic way you could do this.
