Default b20 swap or greddy turbo kit on d16z6

I've been trying to talk to different members on here that have the different setups. I cannot decide which route I want to go. I know b20 swap will cost me more after I round up the parts and pay for labor than a greddy kit but I dont know which would really perform better? I want off the line power. I dont like how my stock d16z6 feels slow as hell especially down low and in vtec. will a greddy kit really wake it up to where I would be happy or should I just b20 swap and JRSC down the road?

Get the greddy turbo kit. I've driven a 99 ex with the same kit and its much more fun to drive than when I had a b20 in my DA.
