Default turbo the D16Z6, or B18C1 swap?

one of my friends has a 94 del Sol Si and he has a B18C1 engine he wants to put in it, all he has is the engine, no tranny, or axles, or ECU, or anything, just the B18C1.... well, there is a guy locally that has a SOHC GReddy turbo kit, it has been passed around a few times, but has never even been put on a car.. my friend could probably pick it up for around $1000. anyways, since he got the engine fairly cheap, i told him he should sell the engine, make some money on it, then buy the turbo and put it on his SOHC. he'd end up cheaper, and i told hime with proper tuning, he should be able to push more than 7psi.... anyways, what are your thoughts on this?

sell the engine, buy the turbo sell it at profit. buy a b16 and a turbo kit for it. you wont break even but it will be worth it.
