Default which motor??... the hardest decision

well, since i wrecked my si, im buying an eg hatch in about a month. ive decided to take the turbo route on this one though...
now the question is, which motor??
full b18a swap?
full b16a2 swap?
b20 long block, ls tranny?

i am planning to keep ALL internals stock with a t3/t4 kit, and also, how much boost are you able to push on an ls motor?

Did anybody EVER think maybe he's being sarcastic?

If somebody with 3,000 posts said that, everbody would ASSUME he's being sarcastic.

Just cuz he's new to H-T, doesn't mean he's necessarily a 'noob' to Hondas.
