Not knowing a lot about aircraft engines I do believe that both turbos and centrifugal superchargers have been used in the past. I think that only later engines were using turbos because it is a much more simple in design and fewer moving parts.

Don't piston driven aircraft engines use relatively long stroke engines because of the low rpm /high torque required?"
