This might sound funny but is it possiable to hook up a leaf blower to your intake and carb so the carb will be getting more air, so it will pump more gas resulting in a turbo effect?

Only flaw is that the air flow on the leaf blower dosen't have speeds, if you know what I mean. Like on a supercharger, the air flow is regulated by the belts on the engine. On a turbo, the air flow is regulated by the speed of the exhaust.

no this will not do nothin like a turbo or a super charger. A leaf blower dosent have enough force to create a higher volumetric efficiency than normal like a turbo or superchager does .... a turbo can ussually create anywhere from 6-18 psi and a leaf blower would pump out like .001 psi lol
sorry if i dont make any sense this is hard to explain
