it's a "hEATON" as he says.. they generate a LOT of heat when they build pressure, and hotter air is less dense, less efficient in the combustion process, meaning less power. when I had a supercharger, my car would be slow as hell during the day when it was hot, but at night and cool temperatures it was quicker

It's all about intercooling, too, That's the great equalizer when it comes to the final results. After that it's the amount of air it can move. Try running your turbo without an intercooler first if you think that 13 psi sans intercooler is a free lunch. I'm interested to see the result.
In any event, that Acura kit would not be a good idea for an Alero, the selling point is "50-state street legal" and bolt-on. But for the Acura, you still need to buy a smaller battery.
