Centrifugal Rotrex type SC just moves the torque and HP curves up to a higher level, same overall feel with more power.
Sprintex scroll type provides more low down power but peters out up top.
Turbo moves everything up from mid onward, except twin scroll which kicks in lower and peters out toward the top.

Tune is essential for safety.

Pick your flavour.

S/C is simpler mechanically as you don't have to divert engine oiling and coolant and there is no exhaust modification necessary.

I went centrifugal for simplicity, keeping my header and it easily met my power goal without extreme stress on engine and drivetrain. The torque dip is gone and the engine maintained its personality, just more of it.
