Default turbo mini-me or ls/vtec?

alright.. well right now my '88 is basically bone stock with a few bolt ons and it's killing me.. with summer coming up i either wanna do a mini-me swap and go turbo, or do a ls/vtec swap and possibly turbo in the future.. but anyways just wanted to get a few other opinions..

Depends how much tinkering you like to do.

LS/VTEC is great for all around power and reliability (if researched and done right), while sohc turbo is cool because it's the underdog but can also be faster with less money, but far less reliable in the long run. But, it's harder to find trannies for a B series if you end up breaking yours, while sohc trannies are a dime a dozen.

You've just got to weigh the pros and cons of each.
