The way the question is phrased implies that the real question is, "Can a supercharger be fitted ON a carburetor, rather than UNDERNEATH it." It depends on the design of the supercharger. Most superchargers (Rootes-type, etc) pull fuel-air mixture through the carbs or fuel injection, compress it and force it into the engine. But older designs like the Paxton compressed the air and blew it through the carburetor. Sometimes the entire carb would be surrounded in a housing to equalize pressure both inside and outside the carb. Naturally the fuel pressure would also have to be increased to compensate for the pressure differential. Carrol Shelby built two Cobra Super Snakes with twin Paxton-supercharged 427 engines making 800 hp. you can read about it at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/shelby/1967-shelby-cobra-427-super-snake-ar25745.html.

Can you put a supercharger to a 1600cc VW Beetle engine?
Theoretically any combustion engine can be fitted with a supercharger, but don't expect it to be an easy, bolt-on job. Carb, intake manifolds and drive pulleys would have to be heavily modified. If it's an EFI engine you won't have the carb to worry about, but would instead have to have the engine control remapped.
