The ones I've seen use a big boy blower pullied to give way more boost than the motor needs. Say, 15 psi. The wastegate (on the intake side on a setup like this) drops that down to say 10 psi. The blower is in its sweet spot, but you're not blowing up the motor. You end up with more area under the curve and torque.

Ive only seen this on big V8s, but the concept is sound.
