A turbo is going to give you more power, but definitely not more reliability. You kinda sacrifice one for the other. lol

just be carefull with tuning and how much boost you run b16 are bad about breaking the ringlands on the pistons.

Depending on how power hungry you are, you might get an itch to turn up the boost on a stock motor and blow it to hell, hope you'll have a backup.
