I should have done a god damn K!!! But B series have power too, Just the K is newer and completely different. I personally love turbo's. If I would have got a K then turboed it that would have been the ultimate build!

for right now, go with the b series cause theres more stuff you can do right now to get more power out of it,

as for the k since its still fairly new, the money you spend to boost it will be way more than a b series.

B18 turbo, I pondered this as well and after looking for a k20a2 from a trust worthy source under $3,000 (I'm sure there might be some out there) I realized a B18 is a better way to go and more practical at my current expense account.

Seems like everyone is going k
Although B-series is cheaper and has more upgrades available.
I'd say if you got the money to do a K swap.. why not?

Why don't you just boost the Y8? If its healthy you should have plenty of fun with the boosted single.
