Actually the mid mount setup is not new to turbo charged applications. Oem's have actually used it before on trucks where there is a lot more room around the transmission area to stick a turbo then there is on say a Z. An STS kit can spool by 4000 so it wouldn't surprise me if a midmount could beat that by a few hundred rpm. Turbo response is directly effected by spool time and the amount of piping from the turbo to the throttle bodies. A properly insulated exhaust front section as well as a free flowing rear section, combined with proper intake pipe sizes and an appropriately sized intercooler can go a long way to reducing the response time on one of these setups. It's all about R&D, and how well that kit is designed i can't say but i can be done properly.

To more accurately answer the OP's Question though if he is dead set on buying a stillen supercharger kit, Meth or water injection does wonders, maybe a larger a heat exchanger on the the front of the car for the intercooler, have it custom tuned by a reputable shop to make sure there is no problem there as that is the downfall of the stillen kits so far. Oh and supporting mods are good like test pipes, and a catback, clutch and flywheel (if your CSC doesn't explode) to hold the extra power, and better tires. brakes and suspension never hurt either if you have the sport brakes i suggest stainless lines, better fluid, and different pad compound as the stock sport pad material is crap. Always good to be able to bring your new rocket sled to a stop. Also think about shedding some weight you would be surprised what even 200 lbs can do for your all around performance.
