On a side note, if you are shooting for low boost levels, 3 psi of boost at 7500 rpm only needs 5 hp compressor work at 70% comp. efficiency. So if you upgrade to a 320 amp alternator, you maybe don't need a capacitor bank...

Combustion engg here, my EE knowledge is sketchy at best.
Are you talking about driving the system directly off the alternator? Isn't that sort of missing the point? The idea, at least to me is to act more like a hybrid slowly charging the battery during normal driving and then draining the battery for a quick burst of power.
