Ha! EVERYONE is interested in more power. It's just a matter of cost and difficulty. Most are cheap *ahem* thrifty folk. Even if you could make it 49 state legal, you'ld probably do pretty well, especially if you get it together before TRD gets the s/c back on the market. The only disadvantage I can see, is the turbo kit is going to be much more involved to install compared to the s/c. Nearly a shop only installation for most folks. Another expense to consider for potential customers. It's a good idea, I think.
On a side note, what about a centrifugal s/c, such as a Paxton style? Might that be a less complicated install? Still more efficient than a roots and you can still run the aftercooler. Just thinking out loud...
