Default ek swap into hx?

Im thinking about about going turbo. Im putting an ex motor into my hx shell.. I still have the hx tranny but would i be better getting a full ex swap or is the hx tranny better for a turbo since it has longer gear ratios?

If you're going to swap might as well swap in a B-series and boost that.
Long gear ratios SUCK for boost.

I already have an ls integra im putting some work into. I just want this to be a small budget project. plus I would like to see how much power I can get out of a single cam. seen some quick ones.

If you're not building the engine then not much power. You'll be quicker certainly but you STILL won't have any torque.
