Okay so yes, I own this little 2.0L jetta, which for $500 bucks can't go very fast with 240 pounds of rims on it, but its a bit zippy with the old stock rims. So, me and a friends head out to the "ol airport" and do a few drags.

Okay so I know I need to tighten the throttle cable a little but I lost twice at the 1/4 and 1/2 mile line!
Mine has 114hp, with 122 pounds of torque and his is 110hp with 107 pounds of torque.
Okay so I have more torque and power, we started from both rolling stops and completely stopped.
ANYWAYS long an short, im sick and tired of not having any power when i want it, so I decided to buy a turbo..... yeah great 7 weeks of shipping.... okay so my big main question will a Leaf blower work as a turbo.
In theory its plausable because the leaf blower is doing the same, except its mechanically driven. (Which i guess then would be a supercharger?) So A turbo/supercharger is made to force air into the engine, provided the "Naturally aspired" will then force more gas to calculate for the extra air.
So next question if it does work, what would be the MAXIMUM, hp or mph could i stick in there without having so much fuel and air I fry the motor.
Long story told short I want that boost.... I think an electric leaf blower will do the trick, why electric.... well there pretty quiet compared to gas, and im pretty sure general public would here my music over electric.
