Do your research ;-)
It was a hollowed out blower. No insides. For show.
It wasn't holliwed out, it just wasn't connected to the engine. It was, nevertheless a Weiand, not a "roots"(sic) as you stated. It was a hollowed out blower. No insides. For show.
It was driven by an electric motor when seen spinning - when you first see it with the bonnet up "Kick it in the guts, Barry" there's a bucket hiding the motor.

The blower was a Weiand as you state and they are the manufacturer.
The Weiand is a Roots "type" blower as in the design of the rotors and named after the Roots brothers, who invented it.
This is opposed to a Lysholm type blower like the Whipple or Kenne Bell which are actual twin screw compressors and the rotors compress the air along their length, not just move it from above to below the case.
I have one of each

It's a Weiand roots supercharger.
However it was indeed an empty casing, the carb sat inside the casting. The pulley was driven by electric motor.
Final trailer:

So, it looks like the Toecutter has his harem stolen and a chase ensues. I think that's all the plot we need.
