With a turbo, there is an absolute amount of boost created in total. It will always boost the same, but I will experience more lag at altitude than with a supercharger? How much lag are we talking about? Spooling up a minimal amount of boost wouldn't be that noticeable, would it?

less dense air to compress = takes more time and effort to spool.

Even a turbo may not be able to deliver full boost when the air is not dense enough.

Turbo spoolup is always going to be noticeable; it's physics and cannot be avoided. Anyone who says they have zero turbo lag with their turbo setup is either oblivious, or delusional.

My advice stays the same as above; get a bolt-on kit and tune, and if you still want more power, address it at that time.
