How about a small electric compressor directly in the intake that runs constantly to provide a small amount of boost maxing out at say 4 psi. Boost is regulated by a stepper motor controlling a very small wastegate or very large idle air control valve. The stepper is contolled by the ECU using input from the throttle position sensor. Not much compression of the air and it could come from a cold air intake so no intercooler. It's pretty simple electronics. Would it work and is it worth the trouble?
