ugh here we go again
b18c swap.
b18c swap.
Disadvantage: Less time under the hood figuring out why "it no worky" Turbo's are nice but, you may get boost happy and destroy your Z6.

Been there, done that.
BTW, why is this a "disadvantage"?

I have a turbo d16 right now and I am wanting to get a B18C1 and build that up.
Here are the problems you more than likely will have with a turbo:
--Oil blowby(very common with turbonetics turbos BTW)
--After a while you will need to get it rebuilt doe to seals or rod play. This may not be in the first year, but take a look and see how many turbo Honda owners are selling their turbos(the majority do this because they don't want to screw with it anymore).
--Fuel will need to be tuned or your car will be slower than it was w/o turbo
--Overboosting due to a faulty WG, gauge etc may cause you to blow the engine
--One misshift can cause you to blow the engine.(yes this can happen with N/A, but is even more critical being boosted)
--you wil get boost happy no matter what you say now. This is the primary reason our little boosted engines get blown, most newbies do not practice control.
