Default d15 or d16 turbo or B20 non vtec

I have a 92 hatch and wanna do a swap.Should I go d15b d16 turbo or b20 non vtec with b16 trans? Eventually in the summer I'll put a vtec head on the b20 if I get that.Which is more reliable and powerful>

This must be post #23842387 of dohc vs. sohc. I'm not tryin to be a dick but you can find a lot of info if you search.

I personally would go dohc if I had the money. SOHC's are cheap and fun as hell when their turbo'd... Even if you break something parts are really cheap. I know cause I have one, but there isn't a day that goes by where I wouldn't rather have a dohc.

Yeah I want to turbo my D16 and I am in the process of doing a DIY setup but an H22 DID cross my mind. The deciding factor was cost. I figured after buying the H22, axles, clutch, shift linkage,etc etc I would be well over 3000. With my projected budget on ym turbo setup, I am looking at around 1800.
