Default rebuild or swap???? help!!!!!

well the shop that i go to told me that if i send them my b18c they would discount on the k20a. now the engine has a broken cam gear and timing belt from what i was ale to see.. i really dont know how much money they will discount from it but lets just say its 2500$-3000$ a k20a costs what 5500$?? so now my question is is it worth to pay the rest for the k20 or use ( i forgot to add im getting a personal injury check from my accident so we might be looking at 5000-6000$ check for me) that money to rebuild the b18c... catch my drift?

just rebuild your b18 and turbo it, ... if you go k20 you have to WELD in the motor mounts. All together it is going to cost you more then 6k.

A built b18+ turbo wont even cost you that much and you will have way more power.
