Compound twincharging with centrifugal supercharger

I have a 2JZ engine swapped into a BMW E46. The 2JZ as everyone probably knows is a 3 liter straight 6. Mine has the stock sequential twin turbo (0.5 bar boost when turbo 1 kicks in at 2500 RPM, and total boost of 0.8 bar with both running at 4500 RPM). I recently acquired a used HKS centrifugal supercharger GTS8550 quite cheaply, pressure ratio 2.6 and max flow 26m3/min. The SC has a traction drive that is supposed to reduce parasitic loss at high RPM.

My questions:
I plan to feed the turbos into the SC to compound boost.
1) What boost can I expect to get total? I have read the threads here on twincharging using roots blowers, but was unclear if the same principle of compound boost multiple applies since this SC is not a positive displacement pump.

2) Should I install a wastegate after the SC to control total boost?

Assuming you know what you are doing, you need to get maps for each of the stages, and make a layout to calculate what will happen. Part of the exercise will be figuring out the drive ratio for the centrifugal supercharger.

And working out the intercooling, otherwise you will just put the same mass of hot air into the engine.
