Here's another idea. You could get this voltage from an alternator on your vehicle. Add a second one, pull out the regulator and rewind it for the voltage you want. Or with a bit more ingenuity do some other tricky thing like modifiy your existing altenator to have a regular and high voltage mode. Switch modes for the 10 seconds you mentioned and direct the high voltage to your blower. The typical maximum power output of an alternator is similar to that of your blower. FWIW figures I remember suggest the turbo requires something like 7hp on a 1600cc engine with around 8psi boost (these figures are very rusty so don't quote me). One horse power is about 746W. For 10 seconds of boost it might be more efficient to use 3W of power to open a solenoid valve on a nitrous oxide canister in your intake manifold...
