Why not drop a small fan - similar to a CPU fan for a PC - inline witht eh air intake of a non-turbo car. the fan would push air into the cylindars at a much slower rate than a turbo but should increase milage by a little bit??

a turbocharger pushes a huge amount of air at fairly high pressure, I doubt that a small fan like a cpu fan could even keep up with the air flow being taken in by a standard small engine, nevermind exceeding it, so it would mostlikely just add more resistance.
