Turbo will require a lot of work a non turbo'd 4 banger
It's not just about how much pressure the block handle, but how it will effect the reliability on everything else in your drivetrain. Also once you go boost, you'll eventually want to crank your boost up, and that will require getting more heavier duty parts for your drivetrain to handle the boost. The one thing people don't tell you is that boost can be a money pit if you're not careful(always breaking stuff, etc)
That said I'd probably stick with the turbo, N/A 4 cylinders are boring otherwise IMO

I'm pretty against the turbo now due to expense. The turbo will probably be a bit more fun but it will be more expensive. Plus like you said I would want more and my engine can't handle much more than 8psi. If I did turbo I would upgrade the engine a bit with all the things needed to support the turbo. There is a turbo engine that bolts right in to the same mounts but the wiring is more extensive than the beams engine.

Yea the second you crank boost you've got to worry about your pistons, rods, crank, and valvetrain respectively. That's not even before you start building the transmission to handle the extra power.

My trans can handle decent power. I've seen people handle mid 200s to even 300. All I would need is an lsd. The beams is so much easier though but the turbo would be more rewarding as I built it my self.
