well if you already have the gsr then i would just slap a nice little t28 garret or something smaller that spools faster. and if you ever did want to turn the boost up, you can easily milk 250whp out of ur motor. but if you dont want much horsepower then u wont really need to build ur engine. gsrs already have 170 so u might not even want to turbo.

gsr motor set on a pct build... you'll throw down 200whp on a dynojet after tunage.
i wouldn't even think turbo if your power goals are 200whp or just slightly over that. you'll find that getting 200whp allmotor in just about any honda b-series vtec isn't really that expensive and can be done on honda parts with maybe an aftermarket cam set and some good tuning.

I say get a Drag kit or something and call it a day if thats what you want, but if it was me with that 6000, i would built the GSR buttom end with good sleeves, aftermarket pistons and rods etc., you'll be way more happy. Unless you want to buy my LS-Turbo set up everything basicly brand new! easy 400+HP. LMK if you're interested.

my thoughts exactly, and i know this is debatable but IMO the all motor set up is more practical for daily street use
