SUp man 
Depends..
If you just want 160-170hp as your end goal, refreshing and slapping a turbo on the D is a good idea. The only thing you might risk here is the life of your engine. If you are just going to throw in a B16, you will get some power, and it will last damn near forever if you take care of it. You will save money on turboin the D, but you risk making it go kaboom. If you swap the B its power to stay, and a better platform to work on.
Your choice.
