A friend of mine owns his own store selling turbos and performance parts, i know that turbos are not alot of maintenance, as long as you change your oil religiously.
I have a friend with a LS that sqeezed, then turboed and now he has the crv vtec. According to him, the turbo requires too much maintenance...crv vtec seems to be running fine and he's clicking off nice e.t.'s. I'd probably go with the turbo.
