Default b20vtec or b16 turbo???

right now i have a b16a2 with a ported and polished head, skunk 2 springs,retainers,valves,stageII cams and intake manifold. trying to decide on whether to go b20v bored out to 84.5 mm with 11.5:1 JE b20vtec pistons and eagle rods.... or drop low comp. forged pistons and eagle rods in the b16.. and boosting... probabaly swap out the cams and get skunk2 turbo cams... not sure on what turbo kit to possibly go with yet... probably greddy kit w/intercooler...
b20v or b16t?
possible turbo kits?

any info/suggestions appreciated.. thanks

im sure if you take the b20vtec route youll be putting in a lot less funds in the end since you already have the b16 head. a b20 block wont run you much at all considering the price of turbo kits these days. i saw a couple b20 blocks running around for less than 800. depends on you.
