Default Ahhhhhh engine dillema (more mental than anything looking for opinions)

Currently owning a stock VX, it's damn slow and I want something thats fun to drive on the streets (taking it to the track would be a rarity if ever). So the question I pose is, having to chose between a stock b16a2 or a turbo'd d15b, what would be the better option? I realize with the d15 it is the tuning that counts and I could continue to build onto it, but would it be fine with just a bolt on greddy kit (6 psi probably on stock internals)? Would it end up being weaker than a stock b16? I just wanna do it right without TOO many regrets. Help a guy out ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !

I have already searched but all I can really find about turbo'd d15b's is for power hungry drag racers. I'm just lookin for a fun daily ride.

after tuning (wouldn't mind knowing pre-tuning if that's available aswell). remember i'm talking the kit and only the kit.

i would definately have to say that for daily driving and just overall bearable acceleration the d16z6 would be perfect.

alright thanks for the replys everyone. gonna go with the d16z6 or d15b (which ever happens to be more accessible at the time, can only come across d15b's atm for some reason), and the greddy kit. that'll give me options when it comes time that i become addicted to it and feel like building up the engine. thanks for all your responses
