with the properly sized turbo you can add as much torque to the low end as you can with a supercharger. You really dont need to build the hell out of the motor just to boost it, your good to about 230hp on stock guts so long as compression test and leak down testing are looking good.

There is one HUGE advanatage to boosting a SOHC motor, and that is COST. If you blow one up, there is another 300-600 bucks away, cant say that for any B series motor. Also, a turbo D done right will destroy alot of B series swaps alone, and are capable of making very comparable numbers to even high boost b series motors after some internal work and good turbo sizing. SO swaping the motor isnt the best bet answer to everything
