Message you would need a compressor to keep it filled, or would have to fill it every so often. Not a big deal, but enough to keep it from being production feasable, but for an individual application...why not!

The trick would be getting the extra fuel to come in at the right time. I think this set up would only be practical under racing/full throttle instances. If you put the compressed air inlet *before* the MAF, you could do away with the "trick" circuit all together.

Another idea would be to put a small-belt driven air pump on the front of the motor (like a smog pump) that would disengage (like an AC compressor) once the manifold pressure reached a pre-determined level. This would give good low end torque and not have any parasitic drag at higher, boosting rpm.
