Yeah, that's a supercharger.

I don't know where that thing would fit on a 944. You remove the cooling shroud and probably still wouldn't have the room to place the supercharger (nowhere to mount it?).

Also, I'd imagine Porsche did research as to how much tension the alternator belt needs in order to turn the alternator only. This set up would probably put more strain on the alternator "shaft" and the alternator belt.

Anyways, after you do all the R&D and manufacturing, you'll probably find that you were better off just buying a 951 both for performance (hp gain?) and costs (not only mounting, but also rerouting the intake) compared to the supercharger.
