Here we go....again
Advice from the pros!
Get the turbonator http://www.turbonator.com/
TOGETHER with dads leafblower and you will have a sick setup. Ignore the NOS in the video, that shit is for noobs.

Don't forget a real tune and 1600cc injectors to supply the beast.
On a serious note, small electric fans are not built to make pressure, they just move air. Sure an electric supercharger can work if the electric motor is big enough and the blower designed for it (but then we talk BIG, nothing that would fit under the hood together with the engine), but those things marketed as good solutions are just a way to fraud people that don't know basic physics.
Edit* Dammit soul beat me to it

There have been companies that tried to couple a motor to a real compressor but the HP requried for the compression can be as much as 50-100hp.
As far as the leaf blow is concerned it will help over come the losses associated in the air intake system but a CIA will do the same thing.
