I depends the swap has much more potential but will cost much more money, but the boost is fast (enough) and your probaly gunna spend a lot less even if you build it up

I say boost it , also keep in mind make sure your tranny can handle the boost if it's old you might wanna work on that

Boost it....More fun....Trust me...

Either way is a win-win situation. You can always use the turbo that you get and put it on a new motor later on, or you can always turbo a new motor later on..It works both ways...but if you ask me, Id boost it.

the noise is much much more organic. hehe the torque rises more than you can think, and people love the BOV.

I would say hybrid, its not like you are done making money for the rest of your life. If you go hybrid you will have the option down the road to go all motor or boost it.
