Love the 16g in my saabaru, its faster than the centrifugal vortec FRS for sure but when I get bored of it the FRS becomes fun again. Its just a different type of fast. The cycle repeats. Sometimes I miss the stock turbo on the wrx, it was fun/fast in its own way with almost instant boost at really low RPM, even though it ran out of steam way too soon. Much more fun in town though.

Bottom line is you will have fun with any forced induction, and then you may want more/different/etc.

All depends on the person of course, I don't think I could say any system is better than another in terms of power delivery, because they all have their unique characteristics that can be enjoyed. I can't really open up the wrx unless I'm on the highway, and then we are talking illegal speeds and endangerment. FRS with a centrifugal feels fast and you ring the nuts off the motor to make your peak power which is fun.

I really want to try a PD blower on an FRS, seems like it would be a blast around town.
