Depends on the intended use... Capacity and/or a turbo alone wont make one engine outright better than the other.
At the end of the day its comes down to the $$$ investment and selecting the right parts. Either option can be made to haul.

I think you will need to do quite a bit of work to a std A15 to match the A14T. 100CC isn't that much extra HP compared to what a turbo could add.

Depends on what you have access to - I'm a fitter so just about anything is possible (well... how much time do I want to spend on it is the question here) but I'm not sure what you have access to.
This is what makes the cost vary heaps - how much work you want to do/can do your self. Common NA mods involve... Cams - more duration, lumpier profile. Porting - clean up and open up bowl/guide area, port matching Heads - find your self a A14/A15 oval port if you dont already have one Exhaust - headers (or even stock manifold) with a 2" system Intake - goes hand in hand with carbs Carbs - Webbers, SU's or to be different; motor bike carbs (looks best!) Pistons - Hi comp (forged if you have money to burn) Crank - Polish and knife edge Rods - Polish and lighten Flywheel - Lighten plus drill Springs - higher shut pressure on the valves Retainers - Ali or titanium valve retainers Push rods - lighter ones Crank Pulley - lighten, smaller for less fan rpms Rebuild - rings, seals, bearings, oil pump, water pump, ARP bolts Roller rockers - only really good if you have cut valve guides or tons of money for bling and requires the mandatory perspex rocker cover! Sump - baffles + larger Balance Engine - blue print rods too Bigger Radiator Electric Dissy Last but not least a TUNE! Get the carbs running smick and set your timing (to what fuel you want to use) or all that work is wasted. I think Ive covered all the mods beside silly things like making custom cylinder heads or full race mods like larger valves, etc.
