Is this a real question??
Ok as far as I know those electric turbos or supercharges don't really work.
They simply just can't supply enough volume of air. If they did, car manufactors would use them instead of "real" ones. I think at most it could give a couple hp at say 1500rpm but as your engine revs the blower just can't supply enough airflow and then becomes a restriction.

And if you did get one big enough it would drain your electical system that the hp increase it might would give is used up by turning the alternator.
