Im not sure if boosting a NA motor is all that good of an idea, even if you keep it low on boost. The Turbo engine is alot beefier and has oil squirters for the pistons where the NA motor does not. I think there are pics of the difference between these two engines floating around here somewhere. It is totally up to you on what you want to do though.
