build a turbo kit. if you make it yourself you will pay much less then you would if you bought a KB. as far as drivability, get a good tune on it and it will be fine

Click to expand...

Also, if you decide to step it up later, the turbo kit will upgrade EASILY.

More room for upgrade, more topend, similar bottomend, less stress on the engine, better gas mileage.

turbo, less stress on the engine and more power/pound of boost, potentially cheaper also

Turbo's have more power potential. Either will be a lot of fun on the street. I can remove my KB in 15 minutes - I kind of like the ease of install & simplicity of it. Turbo's are more complicated & a bit of a challenge to tune from what I've read. Of course people say the KB is hard to tune, but I've managed pretty well with not too much effort. We'll see this spring how it does at the track.
