Dear all:
I was thinking of supercharging my O200 by attaching some sort of impeller to the
vacuum pump accessory pad. This would compress air and have it piped to the
carburetor.
Does this sound too far fetched and too much of a brain far??
Reason for this is that I live 8,535 feet up in the South American Andes mountains.
Density altitudes go up as high as 10,400 feet and temps as high as about
20 degrees C.
Any thoughts?

I like the idea,but... I bet it is far more work than that. Most carbs aren't
designed to work under pressure. At the least I would think you would need a carb
and intake piping change.
Why not turbo it and have free power instead of robbing power from the engine to
power a blower?

That sounds no good..
Change the engine instead, just try to get the proper STC to install a Lycoming

Bad idea.
If you really need more power, you need a different engine. You didn't say which
aircraft or other pertinent details...
Consider the 125-Hp IO-240. I'd have to check the blueprints to confirm, but I
believe it's the same footprint, same engine mount pattern, and only a few extra
pounds. Being a cross-flow engine, it's a little taller from crank-center
to top of the intake plenum - about 3 inches or so.
