Centrifugal supercharger + turbocharger = pointless. You'll make less power than you would with similar boost in a large turbo application. Best plan would be a roots style supercharger (makes instant boost) with a clutch on the pulley when a certain rpm hit, when the big turbo would be at full boil (HKS did this in their twin charging kit for the 4AGZE for the supercharged 1988-89 MR2). I admire the creativity, but it's an exercise in futility as a centrifugal type supercharger makes a progressive boost curve quite like a turbocharger would with it's signal line to the wastegate pulled.

If I remember correctly, there isn't room on our cars to fit a roots style supercharger. I believe that sits right above the injectors and there is a firewall there on our car. Not for sure though, you might want to double check. I am pretty sure it was the roots though.
