Default ek swap into hx?

Im thinking about about going turbo. Im putting an ex motor into my hx shell.. I still have the hx tranny but would i be better getting a full ex swap or is the hx tranny better for a turbo since it has longer gear ratios?

If you're going to swap might as well swap in a B-series and boost that.
Long gear ratios SUCK for boost.

If you're not building the engine then not much power. You'll be quicker certainly but you STILL won't have any torque.
