adding compressed air to an intake is what a supercharger does.
The problem here comes from the english language that chose to name a intake compressor (Kompressor!!! anyone?) a supercharger.

I remember reading about a production car in europe with turbo and kompressor. the supercharger was used as the lag compensator and low rpm booster, while the turbo was the device for the high rpm range. What you are trying to do in not much different from that set up.
