it is accurate enough. in a nut shell, anything EGR related can be removed. You can ditch the charcoal catch can if you would like. For a beater engine, it isn't that big of a deal.
that intake will work. it'll make a cool sound and all of that, but it isn't the "best" place to suck air from. While there isn't any really "cooler" place to get air from, I personally wouldn't want the hot air coming off of my radiator to feel my intake.
I like the "do both" option cuz I'm not a big fan of down time.
I wouldn't try to turbo that pieced together build I was describing. I think a high compression + boost build would be awesome, but I wouldn't do it with as cheap as possible parts. I would tear it down and build for boost from the beginning, as that would be totally different than what I was talking about. trying to build to get some NA power and trying to build for boost is a fork in the road, you can't go both directions.
