use a vortec supercharger... It uses a gearing system to greatly increase the speed of the turbine (which it uses instead of an Eaton/Roots type lobed blower. Vortec's operate in the range of 75% efficiency, other supers run ~40%. Turbos can have very little lag, depending on the length of exhaust runners that feed them. If done correctly, they can (see the VW 1.8T) be very quick responding, and highly efficient.
A little more info: Superchargers deliver a set amount of air/revolution... they are correctly called blowers, as they dont actually compress the intake charge. Turbos use a pair of turbine blades, one driven by exhaust, the other compressing the intake charge. They are correctly called compressors or turbine compressors, as the air is actually compressed to a higher pressure. In general, turbo's are only effective at higher RPM, where enough exhaust is being fed thru them to generate a good pressure of boost. Many superchargers operate effectively at <3000 rpms, but are less effcient at higher RPM.
Turbos use a DV (diverter valve), or BOV (blow-off valve) to waste air pressure at too low RPM, and to controll air pressure at higher RPM. This process is called wastegating. If you want more info, get a copy of sport compact car's forced induction volume.
