The leaf blower's fan isn't really all that great at holding pressure I assume?
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

A turbo compressor needs anything from 10 to 30kw to make full boost.
A big leaf blower might have a 1kw motor?

I'd be surprised if it was worth doing.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
