well i have both and TR memebers can vouch for both, i have an all EG hatch, and a turbo si......both have thier ups and downs. and i am a pussy i use nitrous but the set up is for nitrous.

all motor/nitrous is great, super on demand power delivery

turbo is great because the power seems to just keep gaining.

its really up to you, both can be expensive on maintenance, and money is the key. a good "real " all motor car is totally disassembled and high comp, and a true turbo block is low comp, not just a kit bolted on, or a dude with all NA bolt ons saying "im all motor" cause he cant afford to do either........

its up to you

my feeling is a honda in it truest form is n/a . you may get more power from boost but in honda tradition i perfer getting more from less. honda has taken pride in big n/a power from small engines. just my $.02

I would have to say N/A. Get this... High compression internals for the bottom end help. Then you have ungodly power from the head work. After that do some ECU. Don't forget....intake, intake manifold, throttlebody, headers, exhaust. Then some spray. All Motor is definately a way to go. Your car looks stock if the popo's check it out. You can get some really good power from NA. Especially, if you do a swap first. Hey, I might not know too much... but this is definately the direction I am looking in.
Dammit.... I just talked too much about that man I got a boner.
