The SC kit has the advantage of a cleaner install, harder to screw something up. Also I don't have to worry about overboost, and once properly tuned I don't need to have extra gauges. With the turbo I would want a boost gauge at minimum. There doesn't appear to be a clean way to add gauges to the car without looking like a rice rocket.
Also the SC kit retains the stock driving characteristics.
