Plans for engine swap and/or turbo...

Hey guys,

Ok, I'm getting serious about my plans for my car. I know I want to turbo, but I'm debating on my engine. I have a couple of questions:

1) My friend told me the a SOHC is better for turbo and DOHC is better for N/A. Is this true? I need to know so I can decide on whether or not to buy a B16 and rebuild it then turbo, or stay with my SOHC and rebuild/turbo.

2) How much hp is my D engine capable of? B16?

3) I might buy a header, which I know will be useless when I turbo, but it will do for now, are they compatible between my D engine and a B16? i.e. will it bolt up to both?

4) If anyone could give me prices on engines, rebuilding (and what to do for the rebuild), and turbo's, I would appreciate that greatly.

Thanks!
