What you're describing is exactly what I'm currently building although my engine is a bit of a cluster...

S4 TII irons
S5 N/A rotor housings with turbo exhaust sleeves
S5 N/A rotating assembly

Port is Defined Autoworks "Circuit Port." They're also going to be making an intake manifold for me and I'll be using EFI Hardware's 55 mm IDA-style throttle bodies. I'll also be using Defined Autoworks' header and everything will be tuned with a Haltech Sprint RE. I have no idea what the final power will be, but Defined did 230+ whp with a naturally aspirated 13B-RE with the same port and header combination in a 1st Gen.

N/A is definitely more difficult to make power as it's not as forgiving to setups that aren't optimized. That being said the average person will always make more power with a turbocharged car. I'm relying heavily on Logan's knowledge to optmize my setup.

I'm not sure why you say turbo would be easier to spot considering the N/A setup you've described will also stick out quite a bit.
