KA24-T or SR20? ! ?

My stock KA24 @134k Thinking bout Boostin'

OR!

Just swap to a SR20 w/lower milage and upgrade!

I know a KA-Turbo will dipp a SR20 but my KA is getting to the higher numbers and If I boost it, I know I will have to upgrade many other parts. I never got into boostin' and know very little knowledge about how a turbine actually works, I always been the all motor type but now I'm heading a different path and want to try something else. I know for a fact that Turbo applications makes easy HP with a good tune and that over-abuse can cause damage and much much more to learn. I havent even owned my 240 long enough for it's full potential! Yet I still want to own a decent 240 with enough power to take out the local cars. By that I don't plan to race or drift every weekend, Matter of fact I rather be a cheerleader and look good with my car posted at the side line. Well Let me know what you guys think I should get into..

Not too fimilar with Nissan's yet but everything looks easy as a Honda. - keep me posted guys!

Compression test your engine before asking silly questions. Mileage doesn't matter, the abuse to the engine does. If the compression is fine boost like a mother fuc#er and use a good synthetic oil....
