Need help to decide Turbo versus N/A

ok guys need some opinions, advice, rants, and all around comments on something.

Heres the deal right now I'm doing mods that will be usuable if I go NA or turbo PROBLEM with this is I can't chose a header and that one of the best bolt ons one can get.

Now I really want to go N/A but concerns have come up and it may not be a very viable option anytime in the near future.

Now with a turbo build I have the following already, a blown turbo (will replace with BB cartradge), a Spearco intercooler (will need to change 1 end tank), fuel mangement (hondata s300 going in no matter if turbo or N/A), boost controller, boost gauge, AEM UEGO (going in no matter N/A or turbo), and oil pressure gauge (same). I would need to make new charge pipping(or find a kit which would probably be too small of pipping anyway) and find a manifold (probably find a good equal lenght or maybe a log style if I want to keep the price down) and pick up a koyo radiator. Charge pipping doesn't seem to hard I could piece some together pretty fast.

Now if I do go with N/A I would have to get an engine and build that up as I can't really have this car down for a few weeks while I'm building up an engine. This is one of the reason the turbo looks better I can mock everything up and have the car daily then get a long weekend off to install everything and get it on a dyno and tune it. Also with turbo I can always build the engine for low compression at a later date if I need to but I honestly think a lude with 6 PSI running through it is a pretty meanly quick street car.

as of right now I have a list of things to do before this even needs to be dealt with and ym current situation may even change before I need to decide. But I would kind of hate to see all that turbo stuff go to waste or to sell it all off, I really did love the turbo but I know I cna have that type of power with an N/A build but it would be a pretty long while to feel it.

so what do you guys think?

turbo. probably going to be an easier platform for power, and youllp probably be more satisfied with less work put in, not that hard work is bad
