Is this a custom stroker kit or from some company. I haven't heard of a stroker kit for the KA24DE. I would recommend turbo but I have never worked or planned on building an N/A engine. Also I would suggest a different high flow cat, Magnaflow, because it is cheaper and the same quality and flow.

I don't think I would stroke the KA24 because of already high piston inertia from the long stroke. For a turbo engine, I would do forged low-compression pistons and forged connecting rods. That is good enough for our engine since Nissan uses a mild forging process for the stock crank. Use good bearings, balance the rotating assembly and do all the regular block machine work, and the result is a super strong bottom end. The head with JWT stage 1 cams and springs along with ARP head studs and a Cometic head gasket will top iit off nicely. The rest of your parts will be great for a healthy turbo setup.
If you want to get the turbo kit just limit boost to 9 psi with the stock bottom end that should net you ~220 hp.
