Default RE: How do superchargers work?

theoreticly, wouldn't a supercharger act like a scavenger on a 2 stroke? I'm not saying it would work the way its supposed to. Your all right, you would get 0psi of boost, but wouldn't there be a SLIGHT benifit to haveing a blower? I don't think it would make up for the extra drag on the engine, and I would hate to see what it does to the temps.
the only thing i can see it doing well is cleaning out the combustion chamber to let a fresh charge in... there wont be any boost but the new charge wont have any spent fuel in it.
