Has any one thought of Teaming up a centrufical supercharger with the turbocharger.

A company called Procharger makes centrufical superchargers that can deliver upto 2200CFMs at about 35psi They look pretty compact,and hooking up a belt to drive one looks alot easier than plumbing twin turbos to me.I was wondering if any one out there has tried such a thing.One problem has been bothering me, and that is once the main turbocharger spins up to max effiency will the super charger restrict it incoming flow.My thoughts are that because it's centrifical the main turbo would pull right through it.If any one out there as any suggestions or insights,please share them with me.
