Default Please help ...I'm giving myself ulcers!!!!!

Here's my problem....I have a 94 Integra LS and and I have a GSR complete swap in my garage.I hade prevously a 92 EG with a ITR swap pretty built laying down 185/131 with a 4.9 ATS final drive and that car was fun as hell on the street.So anyways I sold that and wanted to do a turbo settup for variety on my new integra.Well I've pieced together most of a kit including a t3/t4b "Super V" turbo,drag intercooler,and DSM 450 injectors but now I' m having second thoughts on the turbo setup mainly because it's new territory for me.I hear things like "once you go turbo you never go back" but I am not to sure of that personally.It seems that parts for this turbo build up are never ending and "WILL " it be worth it in the end.I drive mostly on the street and not much track time and I'm wondering if on the street I'll be waiting for that boost to kick in while that all motor guy is 2 blocks ahead up the street.I'm worried that it is not going to be worth it in the end.I am undecided on continuing the turbo project or going the all-motor route again with a 2liter and I personally KNOW that I can tune and get 210-230ish all motor.Also I'm undecided on the motor to use for the turbo if I go that route.I have the B18B and the B18C....thought about selling the B18C and just boosting the B18B....would that make a really fast street cat.AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.............AAAAAAAAAAAHHH HHHHHHH

I want to pull on a C5 vette soooooooo badly.HELP ME if possible or I may go drink myself to a stupid solution like put it all together and make a 12.5:1 comp 4 liter twin turbo charged Vette TERMINATOR

If you can sell the B18c for a good price I'd sell it.. With the B18B internally stock, you'll make enough power to put a big smile on your face, the problem with boost and FWD on the street is traction, you may not be waiting for the turbo to spool up more like waiting for your tyres to hook up.. Corny but true.. Still the traction problem can be addressed, good suspension, tyres, electronic boost controller... The problem is cab get carried away, and end up wanting 500whp and then its gets nuts..
