With electronic control of the compressor you'd have total boost control and essentially all of the benefits of both superchargers and turbos without the drawbacks of either.

Wouldn't you lose quite a lot of power due to the components themselves?

Why suffer the drawbacks of superchargers/turbochargers anyway?
