"The best way to go" all depends on what you plan to use the car for. From what I've heard and seen, you can put down around 200whp with a boosted d16 but at the same time a GSR motor has a lot more potential in the long run. COrrect me if I'm wrong because I'm still a noob myself .

You should aslo consider what type of power you want. If you plan to go turbo you need to consider what type of mods to invest in.

Think of what you want to do with it in the future, what your budget will let you do with it and also what kind of power you want.
