Message	Do you have any idea of how big the electric motor would have to be to make something like that effective? A turbocharger spins at 100-150,000 rpm's to make boost. A supercharger is driven by a thick belt. It takes a lot of power to move enough air to be effective. A small electric motor will not do it. You'd need a pretty hefty motor that draws a lot of current, probably at least 10-20 hp.
