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?

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...
