Well turbo lag isnt really a problem untill u get into big turbos and big boost. And a turbo on average spends 70 percent of its life on low to no boost there for not costing you fuel. a supercharger on the otherhand runs boost constantly putting your fuel consumption up. also it takes power away from the engine to run it which isnt a problem with the turbo. the only place i would really go a supercharger over a turbo is in big horsepower drag cars where you want instant boost. not on a street car. even with a bit of turbo lag this isnt so bad on the street
