Default Me asking another stupid question!

I was talkin in an earlier thread about getting a b16a to replace my stock d16z6, because it has 128k on it and i thought turboing would blow the **** out of it. But after thinking about it, now that i know a b16 would cost around 2200 and a greddy kit is around 1500, then if i were to directly replace the d16 with the same engine with low miles and put the kit on it, would i see better results then dropping the b16 into the car? Better results i mean saving money versus better horsepower. I just thinking, cuz if i were to turbo it and blow the engine, then maybe i wouldnt have to worry about replacing it and this way i could save money.

Turbo Z6 will be faster than a B swap hands down. The turbo will be more work/maintenece (but gas isn't bad at all..hell I still get 33-35 mpg boosting my *** off!!).
