Default Leaf blowers.

You know i had a passing thought the other day. But now its nagging me. what if you took a gas powered leaf blower and ran a pipe straight from your throttle body to the end... would it make boost if you duck taped the throttle wide open? would it only be a pound or two? would the motor suck more air than it could push at say 6000 rpm?

Maybe....? But would you really want to do that? I mean, I'm a huge fan of duct tape, but... lol.
