i see it this way, superchargers give you power on demand, which is great from a roll, or even off the line if you have adequate traction...but alot of people cant launch a fwd and not lose traction...and thats naturally aspirated, imagine having a lot more torque to deal with off the line with the supercharger...now over to turbo, your going to get lag NO MATTER WHAT, but it isnt the worst thing in the world, you should see full boost at 4k at the latest, depeneding on your turbo setup, now when you launch, your going to be launching from like 3000rpm or around that, so within maybe 2 or 3 tenths of a second you will be in boost and on your merry way.
also a turbo can give you continuous pull through the rpm band and very well top end, i dont know how well a supercharger does on top end so i cant compare them on the top end.
My Acura and all other hondas lack in torque so much it's unbearible and even a supercharger alone wont make it totally unnoticeable thats why I thought a super might be my choice but the only thing holding me back is the fact that I know when that turbo kicks in all hell will break lose thats why I wont settle totally on the super.
