BUT, think about it, a turbo'd VTEC would just be NASTY. Our engines get their famous second-wind in the upper RPM's, which is exactly where the turbo kicks in. It may be an obvious point, but just the thought of it is exciting, lol.
Well, the reason why youd force it would be because of your want for more HP.. pretty simple to me.
I mean, I am sure if you really wanted to , and had unlimited funds, you can easily make just as much HP on NA, but to say that a prelude running on just 4-6 psi boost is unreliable is ridiculous, unless the only experience the person who put it on has with cars is changing the tires.
Given, that if you want to run high poundage of boost youll need to do internal work , but for just a little extra oomph, stock internals will do.
