Default To turbo or not to turbo, that is the question!

Ok here is the scoop, I know only I can make this decision, but it never hurts to ask some peoples opinions.

I have a 96 delsol with a b20vtec swap, running strong imo. Type R tranny, b16 head, Honda..blah blah blah. Well the guy who helped me do my swap is willing to trade a 94 Honda civic HB, LS Turbo, front mount intercooler, skunk 2 cams, hondata, blah blah blah. The car is in good condition, all stock, and the turbo has only been on the motor for a month. Going back and forth on my decision, just wondering if anyone has any advice or personal opinions.. thanks
