Is there a centrifugal supercharger that is not only belt driven but also connected to the exhaust? I think the purpose would be to remove turbo lag in the beginning but once the revs are high enough it uses the exhaust to spool instead. Kind of a best of both worlds: no turbo lag but no parasitic power from the belt.

I have never heard of a supercharger style of turbo?

Here is a guide on how a turbo works so others can see what we are talking about:

It sounds be an interesting idea I have not found anyone that is doing that.
