Turbocharger or Supercharger?

That's not at all true.

The "hiss" is the pressure release from the blow off valve. It depends on the size of the turbo as to how much lag you will have. Smaller turbos will have less lag, larger will have more. The bigger, the more power.

Superchargers do not give you constant power. They cut off. Consider it the reverse of turbo. Turbo has lag up to a point; supercharger will cut off at a given point.
