I just wanted to say that whatever comes of all this, this thread is really bringing up a lot of good points and is a good read, if nothing else!

This is my preference when considering s/c vs. TT. Whenever I look at a dyno sheet, I don't look at the overall numbers, or what is happening on the right side of the graph. I'm looking at the left side, and the linear nature of the torque curve. That extra 500rpms in the 2000-2500 range means everything in terms of response and fun, instead of having to wait more towards 2800-3000.
I would much rather enjoy blipping the throttle at lower rpms and having predictable torque, than a turbo begging higher rpms and a speed that can't legally (or safely) be used in more than a handful of locations. I know lots of guys love this rush, but I fancy a more balanced machine.
