You are conflating 2 issues here: a 2 speed supercharger is _not_ the same thing as a 2 stage supercharger. 2 speeds means that there is a gear change mechanism with makes the supercharger spin at different speeds relative to the engine rpm. 2 stage means that there are 2 compressors (stages) in series - the output of the first is the input of the second. A supercharger can be any combination of stages and speeds, and not limited to just 2: 3 stages/speeds were built.
