Default D15B2 VTEC turbo/D16Y8 sohc vtec Turbo VS B16 ?????????

I was planning to get an engine swap but i don't/can't get a job and i get some money from my parents that i could save up....I thought of 3 choices I have, one is to keep my stock engine and get vtec head, turbo, cam, exhaust etc, Or get d16 with vtec and turbo that instead Or just save up money for longer period to get that precious B16...I don't know what i will do and i just wanna hear your opinion thanks

i understand that you get less time with d engine turbo,, but i looked at the hp, b16=160hp average d16 vtec= 125+ average
well im not sure what im gonna do but IS SOHC RELIABLE?? too many people told me its not, only b16s are the real reliable ones...true?

b16 has no torque. get a sohc vtec turbo and its also lighter too. ne engine is reliable as long as u take good care of it n keep it well maintnence.
