Default boost or k20?

What would be better and simpler in a daily driver? (price doesn't matter)

boosting isn't bad for daily driver at all. But to get it pushing 220 I would say k20 because that's a lot for a d.

220 wheel is a K20A2 + ~55 HP or a D17 + 10-12 PSI.
Now use the damn search button. Neither is cheap.

For the money you would spend on a k series, you could boost an LS on stock internals running 10 pounds safely (which will put you at 270ish with room for improvement later). With a good tune its just as reliable, and you'll have more power.
