na turbo vs turbo conversion: beating the dead horse II

it sucks when one of your best search words is na and the search function doesn't like it. anywho, i am looking for the power difference and COST difference from doing a na turbo or a full turbo conversion. i like the idea of a turbo na since i'm not looking for a dragster. i just want something with quick spool and linear power with the added turbo torque. however, i'm not sure the cons of the system and problems people have run into. its also been a while since i posted here so i'm out of the loop a bit.

Did you read the FAQ at the top of this section that has a question that covers this and has links for eveything you are asking???

Anyway cost to a full turbo conversion will depend on if you sell your old parts and how much work you can do yourself and to what detail you wish the swap done.

So cost could be as little as $500 to as much as $10K.

well thats obvious. i have read the FAQ which has changed a bit it seems, since last time. i was hoping to get views from both sides. the na turbo kit from the miami group interests me as it seems a decent bang for the buck. anyone installed and tested this?

see the thing is... i want to know how much if at all the extra 2 ports on the motor help or make a difference with the turbo..... a friend of mine met another turbo'd n/a guy and it seems badass.... but... *shrugs* a LOT of work too....

well, just adding the turbo doesn't seem near as much work as a full swap. plus i'm thinking the powerband will be far better since i'm not worried about being a stoplight drag queen.
