Not worrying about blowing up transmissions and breaking stuff is what makes me want the VVL and not turbo. There is only so much power that you can put to the ground through 205 width sticky street tires. Even 225 width R compound slicks would have trouble with the kind of power that a turbo with a strong trans could put down. I hear about a lot of people saying that they can't even get any traction until 3rd gear etc. That just doesn't sound too useful for me.
Also with the low torque that the SR20VE puts out, there isn't nearly as much of a need for a serious (and expensive) limited slip diff.
