Default what to do now what to do

i hopefully will be selling my swap soon (b18b) and now am thinking about next motor to work with. sohcvtec turbo or gsr???????
now if i do sohcvtec i will be peicing my own setup together n attempt to break around 165+ @whp (first goal) i kno by doing this it will take time to find all the parts.
an idea of a setup would be a t3 with hf mani,fmu,starion fmi or even a evo 8??
if i do a gsr swap it will be a strait n easy affair with my car back n up running stronger than b4.

any insights???? tell me why u went turbo or why u went gsr instead of the other if u had made this decision b4

where's your proof???

Mine? ok....stock D16A6 in 90 hatch....ghetto turbo kit(yet solid), 8 psi boost, chipped ecu, hit 175 whp, ran a 13.1 1/4 mile on slicks....

imagine another 20 who tio start with, in a car that weighs a slight bit more...you're looking 180-190 whp on custom kit....I'd like to see a stock GSR run a mid 13 in a hatch bone stock....
