Default What should i do?

Ok well not to many people know me but i posted my car last week.But anyways i have a EG.I have a turbo'd b16 that i havent pt on it yet and i was thinking about selling the b16 to my friend for 1700 and then selling the turbo kit.And just go with a b18c5.My reasons are reliablity,after its all said and done the c5 will be cheaper than finishing off my b16turbo.Iam just afraid iam going to finish the car.With brand new paint under the hood.And i will blow the motor and have to rip it out and make a mess...What would you guys do??To finish the turbo i still need downpipe,aem ems,full exhaust,boost controller,and tuned

it's all your personal opinion man! i personnally would love to have either one, how much boost are you running on the B16? i love boost but on the other hand i am in love with the C5 so it's hard to say!

i vote C5 tho if your really worried about reliability

Iam running 10 psi stock block.
But i have so much money in the turbo set up and dont know if anyone will even want it.
Ands it like you cant really do anything to the c5 but n/a and be reliable.On the other hand the b16 u can run a 50 shot to all day.I want something fast but reliable.

get the c5 and supercharge it . n/a isnt a person's only choice with a c5. i'd like to have a b16turbo though. this would be a tough decision for me as well.

b16 turbo can be very reliable when properly tuned just get your self some hondata and some dyno time and you shoud be fine. and if it does break build it
