yup you can have a supercharged turbo. a supercharger is anything that pressurises the intake air. they generally fall into 2 groups, exhaust driven (turbo) and one thats driven directly off of the engine (supercharger).

You can use both, this is called "twin-charged." The only two applications I've heard of are the Toyota 4A-GE (in first-gen MR2) which some people have done this to and the rather more exotic Koenig Testarossa. The supercharger is used up to about 3000rpm due to its good low-rpm boost, and the turbo(s) take over from there. Works well but frightfully complicated.
