That's a first gen . . .
The small stock motor doesn't do well long-term w/ any blower. So, it won't last long.
The Gen 2 engine is MUCH better, plus the Rado/World turbo makes 300+hp.
Still, pretty cool seeing a first gen get a full length up on a supercharged tC,
I wonder what supercharger the tC had and how much power it was making . . .
(All blowers are not equal! In fact, NONE are.)
Edit:
The credits list the tC supercharger as TRD. So, it's about 200HP, for an added 40HP and a tad more torque than stock.
The ZPI turbo on the xB has about 180HP.
So, w/ the xB being several hundred pounds lighter, the 20HP gap isn't enough to make it have lower power-to-weight than the tC. As a result, the xB will be faster, assuming equal drivers.
Still, a 180HP xB1 engine won't last long, while the TRD tC will last for a ages . . .
I'd rather have a blower on an xB2 than either of those.

Quick isn't the same as fast . . .
Fast is just acceleration and top speed.
Quick is maintaining that speed in a corner, better than just fast.
The xB is QUICK!
