Default Turbo or Swap

I wasn't sure in which form to post this.

I have a chance to get a turbo kit for cheap for my sohc. Or should i just get a swap and not wast my money on the kit. If i get a swap im doin b20vtec.

Let me know you opinion: b20vetc or sohc turbo

if i have a choice between those 2 i'll go with the b20vtec. You'll be able to make more power with a DOHC.

what the heck is included in a 400 buck kit? i personally would put the money into the sohc.

80 bucks for a .5mm over bore
40 bucks for hot tank/cleaning
5-700 for rods and pistons
spend the rest on a mani/dp and turbo from someone
engine management and then go hurt someone. that will be a lot more power than the swap

Turbo SOHC. How much money and time goes into building a 210 WHP N/A motor? Then see how much it takes for the boosted D16.

Oh yeah, torque is cool too.

Push some boost on the SOHC, then once u get tired of that, push more boost on the SOHC, then when you blow it up....rebuild it and push even more boost. Oh yeah
