The turbo wont be able to keep up so in return you will basically be choking the motor. You'd be better off with a 3052 or a 3065.
I wanted to stroke my motor or get a 2.4 so bad but something told me to keep the 2.0 Now with the GT42r on it, I still drive it daily and it spools just fine for me. When racing, I never lose more than 2-3psi between shifts. So dont talk about lag and spooling "big ass turbos" before 4k just because you have a stroked 2.0 or a 2.4
Good luck with whatever you choose.

How do you figure they are more expensive? If you are going to stroke a 2.0 the price difference between that and putting forged pistons internals in a 2.4 is very slim.
When you stroke it, all they have to do extra is bore out the motor and you have to buy a new crank.
Even with a 2.4 you are going to still have to take the block to the machine shop and have basicly the same thing done to the block as you would the 2.0 the difference being that you don't have to purchase another crank, and you aren't boring out the cylinders .020 only boring it out to smooth the sides. You still have to do everything else.
The way you are looking at is spend the money for a new block and crank, +parts and do all the same machine work.
Or
Just buy a new crank, +parts and machine work.
Stroking the 2.0 is no more expensive than rebuilding a 2.4 with new parts. Machine work is very inexpensive. And to spend the money to buy a new block along with a new crank will make the 2.4 more costly than the 2.0.
Ontop of that the power gain over of the 2.4 over the 2.3 is minimal at best.
Than you have to worry about compatability issues. IMO the 2.3 stroker is going to cost you the same as the 2.4 idea if not less.
Also, you will noticed a difference in spool time from a 2.0 to a 2.3. Just because your car spools fine on your turbo doesn't mean that a 2.0 and 2.3 are alike on spool times.
