I suppose if your looking for down right low end power and torque then yeah, Roots and Twin-Screw but considering the engine is a HIGH REVVER, low RPMs is considered 5000, which is plenty of exhaust for a turbo.
hell, 3000 rpms is enough for a turbo out of a 2.0L. it took me a second to understand what you were getting at (just woke up, ha), but it's a pretty good point.

the engine is likely going to rev fairly high, so who here really needs to drive around at 2000 rpms?
