The downside of the turbo is it's more expensive, a more complicated install, and hotter underhood temps, but since it isn't mechanically linked via belt to the crank it's more efficient at making power. You can safely make more power than you can with the blower due to less stress on the block from having to turn the blower. How much though is debatable though.

The problem with the KB is the absense of a intercooler. The KB isn't near as efficient as a centri and produces more heat which increases the chances for detonation but the KB makes full boost instantly which will make for great low end torque. IMHO a KB needs a intercooler to work at its best.
