Either way is going to cost you money to make decent power. Either way will inherently be less reliable than bone stock. Either way will lower your gas mileage compares to stock.

In the end, it's going to come down to what you intend to do with the car other than just daily drive it and horsepower goals you have.

Honestly, chances are that a FI car will be faster than a NA car.

Turbo all the way...your mpg will increase and not drop like he is saying. I put a t25 on a d15 and picked up about 13 mpg on the highway. I can't tell you about around town as the car was only driven on the highway from point a to point b and that was it. Just don't boost it above what your motor will take.
