Building custom Supercharger

Sup Guys, I just got a crazy Idea on how to put a little more power in my crappy 1.8l until I can get my TSI finished. I got a fan blade of some sort made out of metal and a blower motor for a heater out of some car, I connected the two and bolted the blower motor onto a tin container, I'm trying to find a cheap way to make a supercharger, any Ideas?

Why would I want to buy a supercharger for 80-2000 dollars when I can make one for free? I started it and I'm going to finish it so just give me some technical advice instead of alternatives.

Nice searching.

electric forced induction?

Ever seen a blower? A real supercharger? You see the size of the goddamned drive belt on there? They don't do that because it looks tough, the do it because it's the smallest belt they can get away with. Because a supercharger takes that much power to feed an engine. They drive them off the crank with that great huge belt instead of with a 10GA wire because of the hideous amount of energy it takes to drive it.

Your idea isn't creative. It's a perpetual motion machine. And precisely as possible.

If any of this crap was possible, don't you suppose every third car on the face of the earth would have one strapped onto it?

Please, think. See what it's like.
