superchargers are ran off the engine belts or chains where as a turbo is ran through the exhaust gasses... supercharge is giving you extra power at idle and as soon as your foot goes down it forces extra air through a turbo has to spool up from the engine putting the gasses through...so you get a bit of lag...
