since u already have the complete b16 why not just throw new rods and pistons in maybe a little bit of head work and slap the turbo on.

Id boost it since you already have the turbo. Just build the engine for boost while you have it apart and get it tuned.

Id just put good parts in the b16 and boost it. Theres to much stuff that can go wrong with ls/v swap. But then again, if you know your stuff and can do it all right then go for it. LS/v will give better tq/hp numbers, but keeping the B16 all in one piece may pay off in the long run.
