turbo compressor supercharger

tell me why this wouldn't work:

taking the compressor off a turbo mounting it in front, with a custom pully spooling it. run it through an IC and bam. would this work? you would just use normal headers. with a stand alone? with a carburator?

Yeah, it's just a centrifugal supercharger.

If you're already getting the engine, just use the turbo as it's meant to be used. Rotaries make enough exhaust energy that it's almost a crime not to put it to good use!
