Default turbo vs all motor?

i'm swapping a gsr motor into my civic, i have been debating on turboing it. my ultimate goal is 250-300 whp. my question is should i turbo it or just build up the motor and spray. my friend had a gsr swap and he sprayed and hit 301 whp.
really im trying to do this on a budget and turbo kits are like 3 grand lol.
whats everyones thoughts? turbo or all motor?

yeah man..waste of space---fast, reliable, cheap -&gt; pick 2 of the 3 as someone on this site once said. And remember a gsr motor that gets broken because of a bad/no tune is slower than your stock motor.
