It reminds me of sports bikes, and down shifting at the right moment to keep that high rev so you can punch out of corners. It feels more alive during corners when keeping high rev as well.
I am afraid that any FI (twin screw included) will compromise the N/A response from the engine, and you will need to relearn how to drive this car entirely.
The purist side of me always ponder about people who want +300whp on this car, "why did you even purchase this car in the first place..?". Then the power junkie side of me says, "shit because it will be out of control fun! and it will sound cool".
So as a noob, I want to ask the pro's, will any FI compromise the response of the engine? (SC = leeching from pulley, TC = waiting for turbo spool). Or is it minimal?

It's one of those things you worry about until you finally drive the car with a turbo, then promptly forget about. Relearning how to drive the car effectively is a small price to pay for not getting passed by minivans in your sports car.
