I have a T67 from PowerHouse. I had it installed about a month after getting the car. You can say I had plans.
Turbos are great just as long as it's tuned right. I was fortunate enough to find a good tuner and make it to the pacific coast with 0 problems 
Some proof...

I've had centrifugals on my foxes and I've had broken belts, slipping belts and leaking housings. This was also about 15 years ago so it's not exactly a fair comparison to today's blowers. I did a lot of research on boosted S197s and went with a turbo only because I never had one.
One of the one differences I notice is that the turbo and engine are not linear like a blower. This makes it even harder to hook on stock radials or exiting corners. Turbos also rely more on load than RPM to make boost vs a blower. My car will make full boost (9psi) in 4th by 2,200 rpm but you won't see 9psi in 2nd gear until about 4,500 rpm.
When I free rev the engine you don't even hear the turbo unless it's in gear. My blow off valve recirculates back into the system. It always gives the Evo and Subie crowd the thought of "maybe I can take out this stock bullitt"
