V6 is cheaper to buy than a turbo,v6 is just more work to fit than turbo but if doing your self I would definately go v6 as spares are cheaper.

Just had a brain fart why not go 2 litre na then later when you have the money slap a turbo rev3 lump in as all the ground work you will have done and you can pick up a cheap 2 litre easy.

If you're not ready to do an engine upgrade, then the cheapest and easiest thing would be to source a standard engine. cheap and a drop in swap.

Doing any engine upgrade is gonna cost you alot more, especially when unforseen costs get factored in. \there's always something that crops up.

Dunno, my sc was plenty quick enough, I didn't install the BT but I've been in a levin with a standard BT and that was really fast.
