So the power delivery profiles (TQ curves) of the turbos kits vs the A2A S/C kits are very different. I have a S/C kit & can tell you that all of the power is top end (5k+), not much mid range TQ. The car is fast, but you have to drive it like you stole it. You don't get the same mid range TQ as you would w/ a turbo, thus the car doesn't feel as fast. However, it does hook up pretty well, so it's able to make good use of the power. If money were no object I would have gone turbo & most likely Fast Intentions. Also, i wanted to do the work myself & simply don't have the facility to remove & replace the motor, which is required to install the FI turbo kit. W/ the S/C kit, the complete installation can be done w/out removing the motor. So the all in cost of the turbo kits including installation is a lot higher. Just depends on your budget & how you want the car to drive.

Thanks for the input Spooler and CGR! Seems like the Fast Intentions kit is collectively the preferred kit if possible. I just don’t want to count out the Soho single turbo kit and supercharger kit without hearing some feedback on them first. The insight on the supercharger kits is definitely much appreciated, thanks again CGR. Any ideas on how well the S/C and single turbo kits react when launching them?
