Ah, the good ol' SC vs turbo debate. I prefer a SC. As stated before, it gives instant power as soon as you step on the gas. While small turbos can spool fast, they will still not give you INSTANT power (but close to it). I'm not a peak HP kinda guy. I like steady, linear power that I can use to weave in and out of traffic and take off from a stop light without having to rev my engine to achieve boost. While the BRZ I bought the wife is not currently FI, if she wants more power after the warranty is up, I will end up installing a SC.
Both turbos and SCs are great. It really does depend on what you want out of the car and how you intend to drive it.
