Well they're about halfway through the current Civic's lifecycle, so I doubt that anything so extreme will out soon. But I wouldn't rule out a turbocharged Type-R Civic or RSX/Integra for their next iteration. Simple fact is, the only way you can get significantly more horsepower and torque without increasing displacement is really IMA or turbocharging. I doubt IMA will be put into "economy" vehicles so soon, which leaves turbocharging as the only way Honda/Acura can compete with their next generation of compacts (if they really do want to remain at the forefront of the pack).
