Please, you are not serious are you? If you are, try this first, get you one of those 12 volt inflatable mattress pumps and connect it so it blows air into your intake. Go for a drive. Judge for yourself if it works. If so, just use that.

Oh, and get one of these while you are at it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extended-Peak-Performance-Gas-Fuel-Saver-Speed-Tuner-Power-Chip-Ford-Vehicles-/261553120957?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ce5c7e6bd&vxp=mtr#ht_5816wt_979

Superchargers and turbochargers work by compressing air, literally craming more air into the cylinder, allowing you to pump more fuel in, giving you a much more powerful combustion cycle.



Those electric "turbo/superchargers" on ebay are just fans. Literally just a fan. They produce absolutely zero net compression. The entire assembly inside the intake actually acts as a restriction, costing you power and economy.
