Haha, thats great! I knew it would work
I know it looks really stupid, and theres an unnecessary amount of hose, but theoretically, wouldn't this work?
I don't think so. As far as I am considered this is a a Fail-Turbo attempt. Okay, he wants to induce more air in the engine, but you can't do it constantly - that's not how a turbo works. More importantly - what air pressure is that thing producing - how many bars? I seriously doubt this thing acuatlly works.

But how exactly are you going to hook up the leaf-blower's throttle to the car's throttle? It has to be precise. The only reason this is working in the video, is because they are going full throttle. What's going to happen if you are idling at the lights?
The key part of that is "at 18psi". IIRC from reading about this once upon a time, electric leafblowers can only manage about 3psi.Leaf Blowers are measured in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) with the avg being around 400cfm for electric blowers. Now reference a IHI VF28 (JDM 2.0L STI ver. V turbo) Flows 428cfm at 18psi. Unless i am way off base (and being at work unable to get to 80% of the internet i cannot confirm this) regardless of PSI the blower is still moving a similar ammount of O2 so i wouldn't say it's doing nothing.

Ah well i still think my 50cc scooter idea is fucking awesome...
