At work, we use "ring compressors" to pump air into our chemical tanks to keep them agitated. Three pumps are adequate to run about sixty separate, three hundred gallon tanks. They are very similar to centrifugal superchargers [and cost the same].
Made me think... [it hurt, but I kept going]
Could you use a tank of compressed air and a valve [to keep it from shooting the wrong way, out your air filter], to briefly mimic what a supercharger does? Perhaps only a few seconds of boost?
Seems you could rough it in with a large air line and a regulator valve that was set to whatever PSI you wanted. It would have to go into an intake that could take the pressure i.e. metal, rather than a plastic intake from say a CAI.
