Default Turbo or N/A build up?

Want to see what you guys think I should do on a 94 VX hatch....should I build up the lower end and add a turbo kit or should I keep the N/A SOHC VTEC motor in and build it up?
This car isnt mine -- a buddy asked my opinion and I couldnt make a decision.
Drop me a line, tell me whats up?

Boost. I got 207 HP at 7500 RPM and 146 ft lbs between 3000 and 6500 RPM at 8.5 PSI on a stock D16Z6 for a whopping $742.

Let's see $742 worth of engine work do that!

he's got 5g to spend on the motor -- mostly every day/every-other day driving -- maybe an occasional track day (we already have the suspension done) -- I think he just wants more power for messin around

get a swap first and asked that questions again on turbo or boost. imo if u want a fast car. a swap is a must unless you;ve got the brains and want all your time and money spent on a sohc. i likk sohc's, but personally i would prefer b series.

keep the D and drop in the turbo. Turbo is good hp for the cash. No reason to keep the D N/A.
