I've worked through this extensively. I think with a high-end ($200-$300) brushless motor or two, and a fancy controller or two (also $200-$300 each), it could be done. Snag on the fan though -- you'd need to custom fab and balance light weight epoxied carbon fiber blades. Plus, you'd need a decent battery and alternator.
That's the rub though. You're converting mechanical power into electrical, and then back into mechanical. It's a losing proposition, really. So I never tried.
The one dude that built a real electric turbo, 3 motors, one real turbo, and 3 dedicated vehicle batteries. One boost per charge! But he used the wrong kind of batteries for that application.
