unless you tune your motor for the vtec to be able to sync, give it a stronger pistons , lower compression, etc ., for a turbo, its not worth it. your going to have too much fun blowing it up. i knew a guy who had a boosted gsr, stock internals, only pushing like 6 psi, and blew his motor aprox 2-3 times in less then two years. The money he spent on replacing/fixing the motor, he could have just used to work on the internals in the block, made it less compression so it could handle such boost. but hey, not my money. but there are alot of variables that go into this. meh
