Carbs are cheaper and easier but a propperly done turbo conversion will be more powerfull.

Depends how much you have to spend and how much power you want.

Better off with turbo then. More power per £ but still not what I would call cheap for a decent setup. The fact you have an rs1800 engine to start with is a good thing tho if you want a budget conversion.

Still means stripping the engine and rebuilding it for anything other than low boost. Cost depends on how much work you can do yourself and how cheap you can find the parts you need.
