I have one, the car pulls like a diesel truck. Very noticeable difference. Real usable torque starts at 1200RPM. The downside is that it fizzles out by about 5500RPM and from there on is all motor. You drive the car differently with it, you don't need to wait to hit 6K+ RPM to upshift. Lots of power and I'm very happy with it.
As far as longevity, The supercharger's been on the car for 14,000 miles. I have no issues to report. The oil reports are good, oil usage is minimal (1,800-2,000 miles of driving before adding a quart). I track the car as well, and oil temp has stayed below the 10 o'clock range. But as I said, I upshift sooner, because the real torque is in the mid-RPM range. Mine's not intercooled.
YMMV.

Some more info here. Looks like it requires blower and compressor to be removed. No heat or A/C !

Full A/C functionality is retained on 964 and 993 cars. The car in your link doesn't even have an A/C bracket. They've removed the A/C by choice as it is more difficult to get the A/C on an older 911 to work with the M64 engine.
I haven't run against any of them directly, but I would think a turbo would be faster after boost builds up.

You can increase power to 250 to the wheels with some simple exhaust and intake mods. Mine pulls quite strong and I find I do well on most tracks against cars with far more hp. Although it is lacking extreme torque below 4k rpms which would be nice on some tracks.
I have seen some nice low boost turbo installs without reduction of compression showing close to 300 to the wheels.
How is the car working out for you?

have a LWF and chip. I see the exhaust systems but they get expensive for modest gains. The car has been running really good. Pulls hard. I just saw A puff of smoke today, but not 100% was from my car. Have to check the oil level. I have seen the turbos, but even the one from promotive with modest boost you need an engine mods and the SC seems to run stock engine. Also you remember the car I looked at with teh stage 1 turbo and all the leakdown issues. Never really got any truth on that one.

I agree these cars need that extra punch below 4k rpms.

This did not include the Cat bypass or 100cell cat. I am using a 100cell cat to keep the car legal in NJ. Without cat I would expect another 10-15hp.
Here are the dyno charts (sorry bad photo). You should see at least these numbers.
