Since I am bored:

There is no "magic" hp limit. The compressor is too small. That means that it makes boost quickly, doesn't rob a lot of power and is 5kg lighter then the next model up. Until 200hp its arguably a very decent blower, above 200hp..well you're into intercooled, ecu'd, other gearbox, other driveshaft, other oil cooler territory anyway. So cost ++

Rotrex is a nice piece of kit, but imho the price cancels out most benefits. With 200E eaton MP45s on ebay its a no brainer. Screw the slight benefits in efficiency if you can save 2000E I say Smile Then again, the price for an eaton+brackets+ecu/piggyback+intercooler puts you near the price of a GZE and then you still miss the boostfriendly GZE internals.. no brainer. Its easy to get completely lost and intoxicated in the world of boosted hp number, but no-one will show off their failures and costs. A reliable 170whp hachi is something of a sweet spot as far as cost of ownership goes and its a seriously quick piece of kit. My 250whp hachi would only outpace it in 5th above 100km/h..who cares?

All of this for the sake of discussion off course. Its an opinion, not gospel.
