well you do have more heat and more piping with turbo's...other than the price for a good kit, yes you can make ur own for the price of a s/c, (not junk stuff either) but thats pretty much the downsides to turbos.

Turbo's make more power than s/c's due they have no parasitic drag from a belt that turns the crank and other accessories. A s/c can had in most cases cheaper than a turbo. It all depends on your budget. Also consider you might have to freshen up the motor to handle any type of boost. A conservative 4-6 psi of boost would be safe bet for your motor, anything higher could cause issues.
