Well you can get a k20a2 and then get a turbo. More potential out of a k20.

K20 will be more $, but it will be more reliable. The turbo will eventually play a toll on the engine and cause you to buy more internals.

get a JDM RSX-S motor (K20a thats what im doing 220hp) But even if u dont get that, the stock type-s well over a turbo on our stock motors - our motors arent made to handle it and i know some people on here had luck with it but they know what they are doing - i would recommend getting a better motor first.
