Which one?

I am at a turning point in my ute build. Buy a good running A12 turbo or finish building my A14 gx head with twin Dellorto DhLa 40s.

Pros, cons?

A14 engine with A12 GX head and twin sidedraft carburetors will be quick enough but most importantly will sound exciting. Especially if no air filters are used it will sound awesome.

Guys on the other forums say turbos are too hard to tune, and are more unreliable than carbs

Im still on the fence

Doesn't matter what u end up with u always end up getting good at tuning it... That's why I'd say bang for buck would be forced.
