I see SC kits happening instead because of the limited space under the car in front and rear of the engine. So a top mount passenger side unit would be needed and the only thing that would be the best scenario cost and fitment wise is a centrifugal charger(ie., Vortech)

You are correct, but they already set the tone for this car and the price. So ultimately this could kill sales. What I mean by tone is "hype" from the media, DK and engineers speaking on the project, this car has a lot to live up to at this point.
That's not a real race series though.

Turbos can be mounted in many places, hell some even mount them back by the rear bumper, so packaging isn't a huge concern IMO.
