I say turbo but still go with the lower priced car so you can build the motor and have tons of power. Plus theres nothing like driving a turbo car.

swap, the dx is lighter because of no extras, which means faster...

swap for sure cause if you get a turbo, that will be the biggest hp gains for the d17, where as with a k20 you are just getting started
