Suck, Blow or both?
Don't shoot me.....its not a consideration of any sort just generally wondering if it'd ever been done and what effects this would have.
Fitting a supercharger (inlet) to a turbo-charged exhaust setup? I'd imagine boost levels would be ENORMOUS!!
Cheap and nasty "plug and play" supercharger....

twin charging you mean super and turbo oh turbos dont suck for the exhaust there driven buy it to compress the air it would work to decrease lag but you would need to swap over from super to turbo at some point like on the legy tt's

That thing is not a supercharger. It is an electric fan.
They tested them on mythbusters and they actually reduce performance.
They cannot generate any meaningful pressure. It is just a pc fan, they spin at about 2000rpm. Superchargers can spin 50,000 rpm and turbos well over 100,000rpm

"The concept of twincharging was successfully used by Lancia in the 1980s on the Lancia Delta S4 rally car. The idea was also successfully adapted to production road cars by Nissan, in their March Super Turbo [1]. Additionally, multiple companies have produced aftermarket twincharger kits for cars like the Subaru Impreza WRX, Mini Cooper S, Ford Mustang, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota MR2, as well as the GM 3800 Engine, as in the Pontiac Bonneville SSEI, Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS among others.
The Volkswagen 1.4TSI is a 1400 cc engine that utilizes both turbocharger and supercharger. It produces 170 bhp (127 kW; 172 PS) at 6000 rpm and 240 N·m (177 lb·ft) from 1500 to 4750 rpm."
