Detroit 2 strokes all had blowers on them of course they didn't make boost just more or less overcame cylinder presure to get air threw the tangential ports.

I think it would be neat to have a blower geared for quick off the line power with a clutch or somthing that will release the pully when the turbo is spooled up enough to take over.

I was thinking something along the lines of that too, but it wouldn't be completely smooth, as when the supercharger disengaged, you would get a sudden surge of power.
They make aftermarket kits to add a supercharge to subi's the set it up so that the supercharge finishes spooln right when the tubo starts spooln good its a litle simpler system. But that would be cool to not have to drive the supercharge once the turbos spooled.

I've always thought of superchargers as parasites, they take power to make power wereas a turbo uses waist gasses to make power. a sequential turbo setup would do the same as what you're describing just without the parasitic power loss. little turbo for low end boost blowing through a bigger turbo for the top end. this is the same Idea behind the new 6.4L

Other way around, the big turbo would feed the little turbo, and the little one would compress it even more. If you put the little one out front, you get a restriction, and will over spool your small trubo, grenading it, and then taking the big turbo with it.

They dont take nearly as much power as you think. Have you ever spun a supercharger when its off the car? It takes nothing to spin it and with a little flick it will sit there and spin forever. Plus it makes instant power.

Theres a couple of rotary screw compressors at my dads work (work the same way as a supercharger). It is easy to spin them at a medium pace, but as soon as you try to turn it hard and fast, you can really feel just how much resistance these things can create. Slow free-air moving is easy, add some back pressure, and high RPMs, and everything changes.
