    This may sound really daft, and i know your gonna call me a idiot lmao. but would this work.

    if you altered your heater vents so that instead of it going into the car, it was altered and re-piped into the throttle body?

    as you can put it on cold and turn the heater up haha. a controlled type turbo

    Why not just get a compressor and shove a pipe down your throttle then activate it

    Do these three steps:
    1) Get a rope.
    2) Tie it around your neck
    3) Pull really hard.

    Your strangling yourself right?....
    Because that's what you will be doing to your engine if you carried out this plan.

    but if the heater matrix was under the bonet, it would be sucking in air from outside

    years ago i spoke to a chap with one of these electric superchargers, which was basically a small fan in the induction pipe.

    when tested it made more power switched off than on, as the air flow could spin the blades faster than the motor could when it was on, meaning when it was on it actually caused a restriction

    It also made more power again when completely removed.

    The pressure of air as a ram effect is huge

    think the atmospheric pressure for a N/A car's inlet is 14psi so unless the heater blower motor can exceed 14psi of air pressure then it will work about as well as a self tapping screw made of chocolate!
