Default Next step for SOHC turbo; mini me swap or get tuned?

I need some advice. Right now I have a y7 turbo, running a fmu/missing link (untuned) at 7 psi and im really happy with it. I really don't have any problems with it besides a broken motor mount and a clutch that isn't too happy to be seeing boost as much as it does. I bought a cheap complete obd1 sohc vtec motor. I'm having a tough choice on what to do from here. I need to put my new clutch in soon and I need to replace that mount too. Right now the car runs fine, drives perfect and I'm having no problems with it. I'm just ready to move on and make a little more power and get tuned.

IN GARAGE:
complete obd1 sohcvtec motor
brand new clutch

IN CAR:
y7 w/ z6 trans, bad clutch, broken motor mount
turbo kit running untuned

Right now I'm debating on converting to obd1 and ditching my fmu/missing link to get tuned, or throwing the whole motor in and getting tuned.

Any suggestions on what you would do would be helpful. Thanks.

I would say swap out all the bad stuff first, then get tuned.

So my vote goes for OBD1, new clutch, then tuned.

So keep the y7 motor? Nothing is wrong with it either. That's another reason why I don't want to rip it out.

I'd put new clutch in and new mount, convert to obd1 and tune it, then just drive and have fun. Then i'd strat saving to build the sohc vtec for when the Y7 goes, if ever...
