Okay, three things...

#1 A leaf blower will not work, for a few reasons.
a. are you going to use a two cycle gas powered one? an electric one is designed to run off of a 110V AC, if you were to use a step up converter to get your 12V DC up to 110V AC the amount of power required is not possible for a car charging system. The other reason is at idle my blower puts out as much air as the leaf blower does at full throttle, at 9 PSI my blower is moving almost 800CFM.
b.The electric supercharger? I think the ricer or monkey's would make more power
c. The twin turbo's, go to jyturbo in the yahoo message forum, it is a group dedicated to using junkyard turbo's and accessories. For instance you can buy the huge intercooler used on the F350 power stroke diesel for like $250 from Ford, new. You can buy turbo's from a Turbo coupe, add some piping, and a boost controller and hello 12's or 11's.

And let's be honest, would you really want to roll up to the local hot spot...
