Like some of the guys have said, its really your choice... But I'll through in my $0.02 into the pot.
If you are after power, get turbo because at the end it will be cheaper to get more power. But if you want lots of respect from guys who are into "NA", then go with NA--You'll end up spending alot more on the NA setup if you are trying to get the same amount of power. NA sounds easy but trying to squeeze a couple more hp out of a motor that is almost at its peak potential in terms of NA is quite costly in terms of parts and tuning. I'm not saying that turbo parts and tuning a turbo setup isn't expensive. Overall, it will be cheaper to turbo than going NA
Either way, best of luck.
