Keep the b16 block, just build it up.

your properly built NA project will cost the same amount as a turbo kit.

Save up for a turbo. Unless you find a block for next to nothing & get other parts for cheap as well, you almost be spending as much to piece together a cheap turbo kit. Then again, it all depends on what you want to do & your power goals.

im in the same boat, but I've made the dicision to get a gsr block (I have a whole gsr swap, but im just using the block). That way, I'll have some torque, and maybe in the future I can go turbo.
