What exactly do you want to accomplish, performance wise? I was researching a turbo setup a while back, and people told me to stick with the SC... Besides, do you really wanna loose that low end tq? 
Oh, and I see you're a '95. Keep in mind that there are no kits (or at least that I know of) for the series one; you'll have to fab it yourself

Machine a blank-off plate for the SC, and a new idler for the belt. Or remove the rotors from the intermediate rotor plate, block off the holes, and keep the nosedrive spinning free as an idler.
The BCA can be simply 'tricked' not to actuate.
You use the empty SC housing as an UIM.

Pretty much it is -
Do you want the low end snap when you floor it from a stop? (SC)
Or do you want to floor it and wait for the turbo to spool up? (Turbo)
Also remember, fabricating a turbo setup from scratch can become fairly costly in a matter of time. Do you want to intercool it? If so, add in for a intercooler, piping, front end modification to fit a intercooler in. Also take note that you will have to get a custom burned PCM, as the PCM currently in it will get confused at the setup.
Also, you will need to factor in the cost of a stronger tranny, or the turbo will eat it right up. In laymen'* terms, stick with what you have and work with it. Running away from your current problem and trying to solve it with another solution will not help.

Don't even THINK about a 2.3" pulley without ported heads on your car. You'll go BOOM in very short order.
A 2.3" pulley would probably net you LESS power anyway.
