I'd assume that the N/A version would be quicker to about 60-70kph, but after that the turbs would shatter it all over the shop. Depends how aggressive (read "BRUTAL") with the clutch you are off the line with the turbs, that would help get it on and keep it on boost in the turbos efficiency range.
As for your answer... I'd have to say the turbo - as long as the damn thing is tuned right properly.

if the turbo is a roller bearing i would say the turbo car would be quicker.

the t03 rollers off a vg30 come on pretty quick and hard.

They arent particularly big turbos so it would be on boost reasonably early. And it would pull pretty hard. It should hit 120km/h while the N/A hits bout 80-90km/h.
Remember turbos add alot of torque and its not that big.

yeh GOLDTXSLEEPER, ill say that id go with your response too this situation!

i can do about 35km in 1st gear
60 in 2nd
80ish in 3rd
and 130ish in 4th
and i havent been there in 5th.

hopefully with the turbo it should be able too finish these gears in half the amount off time other than without the turbo.... (well thats wat im hoping anyway)

they are not big, but big enough.

my brother had one on his old EFI 2L and it would be off the speedo midway through 4th.

as for low down performance, he is now using the turbo on his 2.6L. you can take off normally in 1st, punch 2nd and the thing just frys 2nd on 5psi with 17's
