@stockysnail lemme get a ride too!
Supercharger (twin screw) to have lots of torque down low where you usually drive the car vs turbo and centrifugal superchargers which you need to build boost so full boost doesn't come until after the typical rpm range you drive daily in. You'll get a whine noise when on throttle (twin screw) vs a whoosh noise when initially coming off throttle (turbo).

You'll be able to get more HP with a turbo however as they are more efficient since they recycle exhaust into more air instead of relying only on intake air from outside.
