Doesn't matter so much what he wants to do with the car IMO, but rather, how fast does he want the car.
I'd drive a boosted ITR at the track all day long. :shrug:
It is not the fact that it cannot be done...sure you can boost an ITR, it has been done. You are prone more to detonation if not properly tuned because of the compression however.
It is more my philosphy than anything. Honda is known for making extremely good NA motors and moreson NA race cars. The ITR, and more importantly the B18C5 highlights this to perfection. To me keeping an ITR motor NA is keeping it pure...and because he wants to swap a motor and boost it anyway I suggested the ITRs nearly identical twin...the B18C1.
