I went with ITB because I was doing NA build already. What's so good about NA? I don't need to wait for boost, don't need to have 100 different gauges, don't need to worry about vacuum hoses or 100 other different things that could go wrong with FI.
Most of all, the immediate power is uncompromising. The curve is like stock, so imagine same kind of driving characteristics just with 85 more hp to the wheels.

We have a shop here in Kansas City that just added a twin turbo kit to a G8 GT. The turbos are variable vane units, electronically controlled, and sealed. That means no oil lines, no waste gates, and full power straight from 2000rpms. This will be the future of turbo technology and will make installs a breeze.
That's awesome you've done something different, but I'd much rather have the power band of a well-tuned turbo car vs an NA car. An 85hp gain on a turbo car will equal a FAR fatter powerband than an NA car with an 85hp gain.
Still have my ABS and stability...I don't know why you think that'd be lost?
Also having NA means I dont have to wait for the turbo to spool. Frankly I know my motor will continue to work for 10 years with regular fluid change. Can same be said about a turbo setup that is daily driven?
