I'm gonna advocate for N/A.
I've had a few S13's that were turbo swapped and while it was fun, it wasn't as predictable at the limit as N/A. I had more fun last week doing figure 8's in the Fr-s that I ever had in the 240's because the instant response it has. With a turbo it was more like mash the gas and wait for the push with NA it feels way more modular and controllable.

I say invest turbo money into; headers, e85 tune and sticky stock sized tires then put the rest into seat time. Still not fast enough? Change to a 4.88 final drive🏎

Plus your car won't have as much downtime/repairs as forced induction🤓
