it would probably be cheaper to work with your existing ZC rather than buy the whole ls swap and a vtec head and stuff, depending on the cost/brand of turbo components you buy.

Boosted ZC = cheaper

ls/vtec = more $$$

Its debatable which one would be faster because it depends on the LSVTECs build, but the lsvtec would definetly have more poetential.

It is all based on your budget and goals.

LS/VTEC expensive but more power potential

ZC turbo excellent power for a small amount of cash but limited when compared to the LS/VTEC
