although what I would be more interested in is dyno comparisons of like for like motors, one running x PSI from a blower and the other running the same boost via turbo. I'm guessing if the blower made ~700 the turbo would make ~10% more.

TURBO FTW. Take that to the bank. I've had several of both. Turbo car is definatly faster, and more fun to drive. The centri will hook up and put the power down smoother, but thats it.
IMO, Centri cars are borring to drive. Mine made over 900 to the tires, and my turbo car making much less is a blast to drive. If I was going to have a SC car I would rather have a Big Roots style blower instead of a Centri.

The TT car is going to make the power on less boost and make it earlier unless it uses some huge turbos. It will take less fuel to do it as well.

I think most already know the pros/cons of turbo vs centri. I am guessing OP wants to see the power drop off between shifts at certain rpm ranges. He is a stickler for the power under the curve analysis.

Take it easy buddy, your opinion was noted in the everlasting turbo v centri v roots argument.
