Run a reserve of compressed air in a tank for charge purposes using the existing 12v system.
Then either drive a turbo with compressed air, or pump the air directly into the manifold (driving a turbo is probably more efficient use of the air reserves). Audi are already doing something like this to cancel out turbo lag in some models.

Then: Extra air = extra fuel.
You'd need a dedicated injector, like a throttle body injector or something and a standalone ecu to drive it. The stock ECU and injectors won't have the adjustment range to cope with intermittent pressure spikes.
All a bit complicated.

Wet shot of NOS is much simpler!

Also, where would you use this intermittent power surge?
Drag strip? Traffic light grand prix? It wouldn't be of much use up through the windies on a mountain climb.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
