oh no not the turbo vs. v8 debate : haha nah seriously just from what ive read and seen definalty turbo in this case because id assume with the cost of converting yours to a v8 with the similar amount of money you could do the turbo and have more bang for your buck!

super6

go the turbo, the v8 conversion would cost more and you wont have anywhere near as much power as the turbo
