You could use a much smaller turbo than most kits use, but then you're also dealing with the extra heat from the turbo in the oven we call an engine bay.

Does any of this matter for pure street cars, no. But it makes a massive difference on a track.
Wasn't tricky for me. As long as you realize there is an area between 0 throttle and WOT, and it is your job as the driver to utilize that area.
