Centrifugal Supercharger?

[bathtub.toaster]

Has anyone done this yet? I'm building a turbo 2.3 and I'm just curious if anyone has even tried putting a centrifugal supercharger on one. Would it be easier since you don't have to mess with exhaust manifolds or intercoolers?

Supercharger takes more power to run versus a turbocharger.

For some reason this makes me think of electric superchargers.

But not like this:

If I remember right that's the belt drive units that have a gearbox attached to what looks like the cold side of a turbo? If so they work fine but sometimes they're hard to package... I haven't used one personally but we have at work in the past...
