Why would you want to?

A turbocharger and a supercharger do bassically the same thing -- they compress the air before it goes into the cylinder. The difference is the way the pump is powered. A supercharger is driven by an electric motor or a belt from the engine. A turbocharger is driven by a turbine on the exhaust manifold.

In both cases, the compressor is designed assuming that the incoming air is at atmosphereic pressure. If you put two of them in series the efficency of the second will drop considerablly. In fact, if they do not pump at exactly the same rate, the two pumps would be fighting each other. The faster one is going to drive the slower one wasting energy. I think you would do much better to just get a bigger turbocharger or a bigger supercharger rather than trying to install one of each. If you still need more power, try an intercooler.

The electronics are complicated and you need to have a special manifold to take input from a turbo as well a supercharger. The supercharger needs to sit on top of the manifold, while the turbo can compress the intake from the intercooler, also going to the manifold. You need valves to close the turbo intake when the supercharger is on at low torque, and open when boost is achieved. Similarly, the supercharger needs to be closed when the turbo is operating. I've seen a VW twincharger at an autoshow in Europe. There's a few aftermarket companies that'll sell the whole setup for the MiniCooper and the SubaruWRX.

u can try but the only result u'll get out of it is blowing ur engine.. for one its impossible to run ur engine under both. u'd be a dumbass to try it.. twin turbo in itself is really risky.. turbo n super will blow ur engine the minute u trun it on..
