Turbo SOHC or LS/Vtec

I'm lookin' for a quick daily driver. I can basically do either set-up for the same price. If you had to choose which would you do? I'm leaning towards the LS/Vtec because the boost possibilities in the future are huge. Just lookin' for some input.

I was stuck on the same decision and went toward with sohc vtec turbo. I swapped and pieced together mine own set up. Im expecting some good numbers. Ive learned a lot so far and cant wait to be boosted.

LS/vtec is often not reliable. If turboing a D series motor is your only other choice then stick with that. Good luck to you.

wtf, on any other motor running 15 psi would either blow it up if it wasnt built and/or tuned correctly, or be making WAY more power than that i havent even heard of that engine hmmm my d16 seems like a really good engine right now...
