Guys running really big turbo's on the Audi 1.8L engine's are making 800+hp, many guys are in the 400-600hp range, and just about everyone is in the 300-400 range (including me). Tell me a supercharger could do that.

800hp... thats cool.... seriously it is... but what rpm are they making it at? what kind of torque are they making? how much useable power do they have under the curve

with DI, you could swap to ethanol, turbo the piss out of it and crank the boost on this little motor.

I would love to have the torque of a roots style S/C and the sound of a jet engine!

have you ever heard a centrifugal s/c? its basically just half of a turbo that is belt driven.
and low end torque isnt always that great with centrifugals. roots and twin screw are monsters thruout the powerband, but you do get a slight lag with centrifugals.
