Default turbo D-series reliability?

hey guys,i've saved enough money to either swap in a B16 or install a greddy TD04 turbo kit in my d16 eg civic,what do you recomend?
i want to run 200whp reliably as i want it as a daily driver,also has anyone got any performance figures for their car with a similar setup? any help would be great because the cash is itching to be spent!!! thanks

It's all preferance but if it were me, i'd much rather have the Turbo'ed D-series than the b16

then again i've been iching to build some kinda crazy d-series motor lately...

get the turbo d but sell the greddy blue box, and get your p28(assuming u have a z6 engine) socketed with an uberdata basemap. then take it to a dyno and have them dyno tune.. thats the best way to do it.

u'll also want a new headgasket and arp headstuds to help prevent head lifting
