IF I BUY A TURBO THAT MAX"S OUT AT 600 CFM HOW MANY POUNDS OF BOOST IS THAT? AND ABOUT HOW MUCH POWER WOULD THAT ADD?

Ok, first please turn off your caps lock button.
Now, as for CFM to PSI conversion, there is none.
The two aren't related(at least not directly). Anything can move 600CFM, a normal everyday hairdryer can do that and more, but if you put your hand infront of the nozzle of a hairdryer it's pretty obvious it doesn't create much pressure. Now to move 600CFM at the kind of pressure thats inside an engine, that takes a great deal of force and power.
So if your looking at one of those "electric" supercharger/turbo things on Ebay, don't waste our money, they don't work.
