^^^ Exactly. The turbo might have lag, yet it is load dependent, so it'll build boost, but the supercharger will just pud along until rpms increase enough to get boost, so it will feel like it has supercharger lag; this isn't accurate because there is no lag, but there is rpm-dependency-delay. In this regard, turbos can lead to lazy shifting, and superchargers require downshifting to get into bigger boost numbers, but when that happens the boost is instant, where downshifting in a turbocharged car will still have some lag, even with a small turbo.
