Default Lag?

How bad is the lag from a centrigial SC compared to a turbocharger? The turbo has to wait for the exhaust to build preessure and the Centri is belt driven, but does that mean will it buuild boost quicker?

there is no lag, it just doenst make boost until a certain amount of RPMs, also a properly tuned turbo should have little to no lag
