Guys... I have plans for future upgrade for my AE111... But I always fight between these 2 options... Hmm... And I guess many couldn't give a definite answer till now. Soem argue that 4AFTE is beter and some say the rev hungry Blacktop. Let this be a place where we can discuss and share experiences. If you do not have experience in playing these 2 beautiful engines, please feel free to share opinions too!
How does these 2 compare in:
1. Reliability
2. Maintenance Cost
3. Streetability & Fuel Consumption
4. "Max-out" tuned power
5. Cost of Modifying
6. etc etc...

Can anyone share experience? My aim is to get good moderate power and good FC. Like the blacktop, 165 bhp and still can manage 400kms per full tank in my area. I love it a lot. But I am just wondering if turboing the 4AFE can yield me 160 - 170 bhp like the BT. I plan to use just light boost. Max 0.4 bar for good fuel economy and low-mid range torque. I don't really aim for high end power.
So my question is,
1. So if I stick to 0.4 bar boost, can I get 160 - 170 bhp?
2. If we talk about max-out tune (i.e 4AFTE vs BT turbo), which engine can give more?
