Id gladly turbo charge the 86 as it is and see what it can do. With direct injection you can take liberties you couldn't before with port injection.

The EJ turboes have more potential for high power cheap. They are better suited to running boost on pump gasoline.
If you do either one, I highly doubt you could sell the car without incurring a huge loss. So it's up to you. Just don't disrespect the car(s) or someone else's opinion and you won't get any problem from me.
If bolt-ons make the 230-260BHP that people want/need for bragging, that should cover 99% of the drivers. The 1% who can afford to swap the engine or turbocharge can do it.
