I think the difference for those that want a SC is that they dont want to tinker with the kit once its installed. Turbo upgrades have a tendency to require tinkering to keep them up and running. I did a turbo upgrade on my fisrt Audi that already had a turbo and it still required tinkering here and there to keep running right. SCs from what Im hearing dont require as much tinkering. Trust me these TTs will be getting boost leaks, blown valves, need new higher qaulity hoses so they wont get tuined by the heat, etc..

And taking power away to make power, I guess thats what you got to do. Im assuming you mean that the SC is belt driven thus taking some power away but it puts alot more back so you are still ahead in the end.

Plus cost is a major factor.
