Well the benefits vs. the supercharger is the SC can't be easily swapped out for a model that flows more. You are 100% limited by the SC on the n52 platform.

This fits up to a G35-1050 which can flow almost 3x more than your eaton SC.

Now, why you would want a high whp N52 build when there are proven ways to get there for much less money with an n54 or s65 is beyond me. There is no reason for anyone to buy this kit at this price. Because the costs just start there. Gotta upgrade your fueling system(unless you want to make SC N54 numbers), an IC, etc.

In that picture the turbo is not clocked correctly for the front waste gate. You also don't need a water cooled turbo like the garret. Someone could make this kit for MUCH less. A simple log style exhaust manifold would make MUCH more sense given the whp N52 can handle. Logs flow just fine.
