If you're really deciding based on affordability, I don't think any of these options are a good idea. It will take a good amount of money to do any of those options, especially if you want to do it right and have it last. I can boost my car for under 1k, but that doesn't mean I'll be driving it a few months from now...

That k20a3 was also built; the car made some big torque for a K20, I thought he made a little more then that. The owner ended up selling the car because he didn't get what he wanted out of it. Buy a a2...
