Have any of you ever heard of this being done? Dose any one have something simular? Any input would be great!

Re: Alternative turbo
Good idea!!
You know what, give it a try!
Ok since it's can't be exhaust powered, it could be in the form of a belt-driven supercharger.
no wait.... a SUPERSUCKER !!!!! With inconel impeller! or ceramic!
and big enough to suck on the exhaust gases (that are already coming out under pressure)
