either will get the job done in my opinion. How much money you have will be the biggest factor imo.

500whp on a b16 will require a 35r+
so stg 2 cams will be best to wake the motor up

bigger cams depend entirely on your setup. but itr cams are universally the best oem.

that car is going to suck to drive out of boost.

the idea of low compression on turbo cars is busted and will hurt you more than help you

most turbo cars are 10:1 now a days for a reason

With that low CR, you can bump up the boost for better CR. I would look to a stage 1 cam, but If it were me, I would get a new TB and port match it with a new IM to help with flow.
You dont want to over cam cuz with that low CR it will run like ****. Some simple stage 1 cams with boost will wake up the power.
