to tell you the truth, there is more reliability in a turbo setup then there is in a n/a setup due to the fact that you are not always making that same amount of horsepower. A guy with a turbo will get better gas mileage also, and spank more booty for LESS money. what you are looking at is gonna be around 5k's for the finished product, where as a turbo will be 3k's plus getting it tuned. say about 3500 for the finished product with a turbo. Also if you are going all motor, then you may want to stroke it. I know you have a gs-r dont you?? If so, lets trade crankshafts. Mine has a longer stroke then yours and overall will give you more torque.
