Superchargers make boost from the moment you step on the gas because it runs of the air coming through the intake.

turbo is run of exhaust gases which spins a turbin which compresses the intake flow, so it bolts to a sopecial manifold, a SC, does the same thing, it compresses the intake air,m excep[t it doesnt run off he intake air, it runs off of the engine buy usoing a pulley, whihc is why it is instantaneous, the ngine spins, the SC does too, a turbo takles time to spool up because ayt foirst the exhaust gases dont flow fast enough to get it spinning goods, especialy wiht a larger turbo, but when the rpms go up theres more flow and the turbo is spooled

Im not an expert either so others can add to mine
