The problem I have with a belt driven unit is the bearings and pulley - they increase the width and make it hard to fit between the engine and motor.  Attaching the fan to the crankshaft pulley solves that problem if a fan can be found that will produce the needed air flow at our design rpm.  Plus one of the largest leaf blowers new is less than $500.  Can't buy much of a turbo for that price!
