Default is it worth it?

i have a 89 dx hatch with the stock D15B2 motor with a AEM cold air and a DC header with 2-1/4 magna flo exhaust system and the car runs great.I was thinking of putting a D16Z6 head on it and doing the mpfi swap as well. Will this make sufficient power gains?I am also planning on getting a turbo set up what brands or from were do people recomend

Just swap the whole motor to d16z6 with turbo and you will see some nice power gains.
