Yes! And there would be a huge advantage of this setup!!! Low end boost would be provided by the supercharger, while the turbo would spool in the meanwhile and provide high end boost. This would elliminate turbo lag.
I would love to have this set up on any vehicle. It means you get more power from less engine cc's. Also great gas mileage and smooth power delivery at any RPMs! The guy above (and below... lol) is totally wrong as of course there's an advantage. But, you got to keep in mind that you have way more moving parts that wear, so you have to take good care of the vehicle, and of course have high quality materials for the setup.
And now VW has actually come out with a 1.6L engine that comes like that from factory! Gotta love V-DUB. Too bad it'll be only sold in Europe. :( I forget under what name... Maybe VW GTI? Not the same as Golf GTI tho...
Alright man, this took sometime, but since I love VW, I just had to find this for you... haha

You should show this link to everyone who says no... lol And that's only first factory built production engine like that. I'm not talking about self built. When I came up with this idea myself I was quite proud... haha That's why I searched around if it was possible and realized that I wasn't the first one... lol jk... Well enjoy the link.

No, and I would explain why, but if you question whether you could, you don't know how they work entirely, and it would be a waste of time.

It would be possible, but no mechanical advantage would be gained.
