2.5 - easiest and cheapest, large aftermarket.

3.3 - most challenging, potentially the most torque, potentially the most Hp
-Bill (nothing beats cubic inches or cubic centimeters )

plenty of aftermarket turbo, exhaust, management, and intercooling apps for the 2.5L.

2.0G...you can stick twin turbo's on it.
EJ22T has one of the strongest blocks ever to come out of Japan (mate that with 2.5 heads and damn..you got a racer there). I wouldn't recommend the 2.5's...they burn up.

I suppose having less mass and moving parts gives small turbo engines an advantage over large NA blocks,
but you can still put a huge turbo on a large NA block and have far greater potential for power. :/ (Trying to give the eg33 some credit)
