Turbo using leaf blower?
Could it be done?? lol

I mean get an inverter, plug in the cigerette lighter, then turn on the leaf blower, and away you go.

Yeah Billy from Lethal Imports/Toronto Racing bought a few of these little blowers last year to dry and do it. From what I here, it didn't work.

I do remember K&N tried something like this with a 12 volt high powered fan.. When they turned it on it actually floated a foot above a table.... It was noisy as hell and never caught on ... That's probably why it isn't on their website no more.... It claimed 10 - 15 Hp increase... This was about 2 - 3 years back...

Matt ... stick to Stereos

You're better off using a high CFM Fan they use in air conditioners with "Supercomposite blades" for quiteness.

Seriously dude ... that won't work, (How are you going to design a wastegate and BOV to work with the blower ... this has got to be interesting
