Default engine build?

i just had a question about my engine/project build up?
i have a 95 integra with a jdm b16 2nd gen & i was just wondering how this setup would be or if it would be to much?
* port and polish the b16 head or get a p&p type-r head?(would it matter which one?)
* turbo kit (turbo pieced together greddy bov, tial wastegate, garrett t3/t4 50 trim TC)
- still looking at intercooler and piping?

*another question with this is another idea i had of building up a complete type-r build up. what is really needed to do a full engine build? i know a couple of things but does any one have a list of a very good powerful type-r build.
*this is a future/now project so this will probably be a long build up. save,buy piece buy piece.

*just wanted to see which would be the best plan:
-quick and some what easy turbo/boost
or
-complete engine (or head build?)/all motor build?

i was just thinking about it and im pretty sure the most response i will get will be to boost it and it will probably be the best and biggest power gain so my question for the boost is what can i do to the cylinder head to add more power?
port and polish?,camshafts?,intake manifold/throttle body?,

definitly go boost.
type r head is better but more expensive
a ported and polished b16 head will be great for boost

Boost is the cheapest method. If you're going that route, save the money on the PnP ITR head and run a stock head with a good setup and tune. That would be the best use of the money...the PnP for the head would have minimal gains on a turbo setup on a stock block
