This isn’t the reality for the vast majority, but even if it was, turbo is better.

For 99.8% of people would never do a DIY FI kit. For .19% of people a diy turbo kit would be way easier and cheaper than a SC kit. In his unique specific case that applies to almost no one but him a DIY SC I guess can be done cheaper and possibly easier.
Think he was more bragging than giving an actual solution for anyone to consider following.
Like you basically said, piecing a turbo kit together off ebay, or with some minor beginner fab work can be done fairly easily and cheaply at least compared to a make shift sc kit. Proper pulley alignment alone could be challenging not throwing belts all the time.
