A well designed setup with a properly sized turbo can make the same power as a JRSC with practically no lag and stress the engine less. Or make 5-10% more power with minimal lag and stress the engine the same. Downside really only is heat management if tracking.

Just seems like what a SC excels at edelbrock/harrop/sprintex do it better.
And what the JRSC/HKS excels at in comparison, a turbo could do better.

Still not a bad option or setup none the less just my opinion.
Exact opposite. The quicker/earlier the turbo spools, the more load it puts on your rods and bearings, and the more you're stressing your engine.

No matter how well done the turbo setup is, turbo lag is a thing. It's just physics.
