It doesn't move enough air to provide any benefit.

Like breathing through a straw.

Next time your looking at a 13BRE, disconnect the TB duct & gun the motor.
It's a real eye opener on how much air a turbo pushes.
A professional leaf blower ain't even close.

I am closing this before it gets out of hand like the 20 other threads on this question have.

the short of it, there is not even enough air from any air pump to increase the air pressure for even one rotor (or piston on non rotary engines) even 1 psi, and infact would result in a major loss of HP.
