In a v6 with twin turbo's, you wont see turbo lag unless your driving under 2k rpm's or you use big turbo's.
Besides, boost is just a shift a way.
Superchargers are NOT more fuel efficient than turbo's. You will always have the parasitic loss of the belt, however on the turbo when under cruise the turbo will not be causing any loss.
The reason for adjustable boost is for running a reliable street setup and then raising the boost while running higher octane fuel to run a race setup. For example, lets say the standard street 91octane file on a turbo kit for the v6 makes 450hp, the 100 octane file will be around 500hp.
