Default Parasitic losses from different forms of FI?

I was curious if anyone has any good comparison numbers, I think there was a magazine article a few years back that did a comparison, roots vs centi vs turbo, but I can't find anything.

Default

Turbo has to size correct tomuch back pressure kills HP
Pro charger use hp to spend the blower I dont know how much but a well flowing topend and exhaust will offset the use.
Twinscrews are the same but heat seems to kill them on hp unless you have a trick cooling system or run alcohol.
