I'd put on a supercharger instead. Even though there is a parasitic loss, I'd prefer it over a turbo.
Superchargers are great for drag racing as they can negate turbo lag and get you off the line a hair quicker.
In a towing situation where time to spool up the turbo isn't an issue, it makes no sense to accept the parasitic loss...particularly for a manufacturer looking at govt fuel economy rules.
