A problem I see is that bypass valve control inevitably gives you a bit of a "surge" at the end of the pedal travel. Obviously not as bad as a turbo where after a certain amount of load the turbo comes "alive" and the response becomes that of a laggy on/off switch.

where are you guys coming up with any of this? there's no way for me to ask this without sounding like a condescending ass (i'm not intending to be) but have either of you driven stock (or small frame) turbos at an autocross or track event? turbos aren't "on/off" switches. i invite anyone to come ride with me at an autocross and then tell me my turbo has crappy transient response and/or isn't linear.

FWIW, i will not add any kind of forced induction to my FRS/BRZ.
