None of this discussion should have any impact on one's decision to buy a GTM supercharger. I've had a turbo before and would prefer the torque curve provided by a a supercharger for a daily driver.
But if the turbo is sized just right, the midrange torque is really good. I had a turbo kit on my old Toyota Celica, and the response was very quick. That also looks like the case for the TT kits available for the 370, judging from the dynos of those TT systems.
