It's better to have low comp and high boost then high comp and low boost. The turbo will always make more power, granted it's properly matched with your application.

No such thing as cheap power, everyone can forget that idea.
You wanna play, you gotta pay. Don't forget a catch can, oil line, plumbing, gaskets, stand alone, wiring, injectors, fuel pump etc etc etc.
Again, +1 for 505.

Engine: 4.0 rebuilt w/ bored TB, banks header, upgraded ignition, 3 row rad, high flow h2o pump, 180* t-stat
It's a reason it's $2g, they've done the research to get it done right
so waste 2k trying to get it right the cheap way, or pay 2k and get what you want with no headaches...hmmm

75 hp for $2,100, (turbocharged) seems decent. (But I couldn't justify it on my $1900 truck)
50-75 hp for $1,300 $1,500 (stroked) sounds about right.
OR
5.3L motor swap for pennies on the pony.
The 4.0L came pretty snuff out of the box, there really isn't left to get out of it, without spending alot of dough. Its a truck, not a hot rod.
Not trying to sound rude, just saying.

I had an old roommate that tried to throw an eBay turbo on his 94 integra and the turbine blew after two weeks. I dont think he even got to really push it that hard before it started spewing white smoke all over. He didn't have the money to fix it so he just took it off and threw his $700 investment out the window. Better to spend 2500 and get it done right then over 3k to find out the hard way

Why not save the money for a V8 swap?
that would give the OP some real seat-of-the-pants attitude
