Default Turbo or N/A for my new B18C1?

I really need some good opinions and price quotes from you guys, along with maintenance and saftey measures for my new engine. WHo thinks I should keep it real and go for the all motor B18C1, or say **** the bullshit and just go for turbo?

I know all motor is the most reliable, but how much wheels horsepower do you all think I could squeeze out of a B18C1 going naturally aspirated? And with what mods? Wouldn't the cost of all the parts equal the cost of a safe and reliable daily driven turbo setup?

If I go turbo, what type of maintenance would I be looking at and how do you all feel about the reliability of turbo? Has anyone here ever blown their motor? How well built should a B18C1 motor be to support turbo?

Let me know what you all think.

Turbo the bitch. Turbocharged GSR's own :thumbup:

Not sure of the numbers exactly but with the proper fuel set-up, you could safely run low psi (5-7). On 7 psi, you should be doin 13's easy, maybe 12's? Low 13's sounds about right I think...
