and you WOULD want a centrifugal supercharger since it is much more efficient then a roots or twin screw style. You don't need to feed the supercharger with the turbo or feed the turbo with the supercharger. they can both run to the same intercooler that has divided tanks on one end with a single outlet on the other end feeding your intake manifold.

If you are going to run a centrifugal supercharger and a turbo you are defeating the entire purpose. An centrifugal supercharger is essentially a belt driven turbo cold side, and as such needs to spool just like a turbo, but is limited by engine speed. You would be better off running 2 turbos, or one large turbo. The whole point of twin charging is to eliminate turbo lag. A centrifugal supercharger has lag. Roots style and twin screw chargers do not.

It has been proven that generally a single turbo will make more power than a twin charger setup. The twin charger will have better driveability, and better response.

Also, you are not keeping up with a Lambo in Echo or Yaris. Maybe a Mustang.
