None of these reasons necessarily apply to all SCs, but these are some common reasons. There are ups and downs for both.
Please refrain from jumping in and saying "OH YEAhh bro??!!? Mah turbo Haz a linear torque curVE!!!!" I'm speaking "generally" and this does not cover every individual case.

I agree with the top part minus the heat/sound/space requirement stuff cuz if you're comparing a JRSC/KW to turbo, still lots of piping and it doesn't sound as good -- heat wise, IAT's are probably similar between the two.. but comparing turbo IAT's to an uncooled, or even cooled roots/twin screw blower? forgetaboutit, those puppies cook the air coming in.. **different platform but my uncooled m62 IAT's were well over 200 after a hard 1-4 pull on 10psi, now on 6psi turbo the IAT's maybe get to 120 after the same pull, same weather, and the car is making 40hp more**
+1 for a
properly installed and tuned turbo kit. since it seems so many have had issues from junk installs or poor part choices like too big of wg springs..
