I'm with the Kenne Bell crowd. I think the turbo may prove too "peaky" for street driving. Besides, to get any part of the low end you'd get with the Kenne Bell out of a turbo, you'd have to run a twin turbo kit. One to kick in lower, one to take over at higher rpm. The Kenne Bell produces a much flatter boost curve with full boost occuring at (or around) 2000-2500rpm. No boost lag to speak of really. Besides, turbos can require some heat protection measures like heat shielding, lots of burned plug wires, etc. And who wants to spend 1 1/2 hours changing plugs after letting the engine cool overnight (which is what Incon says it takes to do it). Like Mustanguy, if the car was more of a race piece, I'd say go with the turbos...more power potential at higher rpm. I think the Kenne Bell 2.2L will make you a happy man.
