Also I apologize if my post get confusing. I talk in circles a ton it's a habit.

You need to decide what your ultimate power goal is and how "driveable" you want the car to be.... if you're only looking for ~200rwhp and decent drivabilty, stay n/a. If you want a bit more power... go for the turbo. I'm looking for 281rwhp out of a project I have, Le Junkyard Turbo 'Vert.... stock ..... ish engine, stock.....ish ports, just cleaned up the runners, and a stock turbo.

However, if you do go turbo, there is a different path to take as far as building the engine and the other mods needed, fuel, oiling, cooling systems, etc etc etc can get rather spendy.
