Ke20 engine help!

Ok for everyone out there, iam now the happy owner of a very special little ke20!
I bought it from Jayman (fellow toymodder), and got it shipped up here from melbourne!
Its F*^$ing AWESOME!!!
Anyway, have put in some new seats, just about to put in front struts and a bigger break upgrade BUT also need help in the following.....
WHICH ENGINE?????????????? 
Ive been asking around but still dont know?
Iam thinking of getting a 20v but a friend says they are to hard to turbo (in the near future?), and also that there air flow (head) characteristics are all wrong!
Should i just opt for the 95kw 4age(out of the sprinter) or do a fair bit more work and put in a 20v?
Or mabye even a gze?
(For someone smart to answer).... In order to convert a gze into n/a, the compression and what else needs to be changed? Is this opt a waste of time?
Thanks guys, and look forward to seeing you all soon in the new baby!
And also, 1 more thing, the t50 is the right gearbox for all of the engines i have just stated, right?
Bretto!

a great all round motor would be a GZE, with turbo, running low boost (like 1 bar) less lag, great drive out of corners etc.
T50 may survive if treated nice.. if you are a dickhead and do burnouts etc, expect to pay for a W box conversion 
fit the biggest brakes you can.

ps, it really depends what you want out of the car.... i'd be tempted to work a 16V NA, and have a great little car, without the hassle and danger of turbo

I eventually want to turbo it, but for the mean time i think a n/a would be the best choice!
There fore the 100kw engine would be the way to go right?
If you were going to put a 4age into a rwd car, wanted the most power out of a 4age and had around the $2000 mark, what would you be putting in?

you'll be doing pretty well to put a 4AG into a KE20 for 2K... if you do all of the work yourself you might scrape in, but factor in brake and diff upgrades, lotsa little stuff etc...
hmm, for 2K i think i'd prolly go the turbo option, but everthing would be dirt cheap...
for my money, i'd go a 100kw 4AGE, slightly bigger cams, aftermarket ECU (MS ), etc etc. i'll be doing it into a KE15 eventually
