The answer is "Yes".
Volkswagen's Supercharger/Turbocharger combination:

You can also check up on this in such magazines as Motor Trend, Road & Track, Car and Driver, Automobile, etc. for additional information.

you can twin turbo a 4 cyl.... you use boost pressure from one smaller compressor... to spool a large compressor...
done on diesels all the time... and has been done on many gas 4 and 6cyl engines....
as for doing supercharger w/ turbo... yes its possible... but imo ... the supercharger would hold the turbo back eventually... due to flow limitation unless you port out the supercharger housing....
once one of the chargers peaks... thats the end.. if the turbo peaks first... it would create a block in the intake tract for the supercharger... if the supercharger peaked first.... it couldnt flow any more air that the turbo is trying to cram down it.... (roots style)

lol wow i never knew that guy was from pittsburgh thats where im from. sucks i didn't work out.
Lets say you had a Powerworks S/C.(roots)How about if the turbo discharge entered after the impellers and just before the intercooler?The S/C would make boost down low and immediately,and the turbo would supply the top end ,without having to go through the paddles.Interesting....
