Here we go again...

I'll bet anything this turns into another feud that long on opinion and short on objectivity. That being said, here are my two cents.

Comparing a properly built bolt-on turbo kit like the Greddy of Drag kits to a largely DIY Frankenstein LS/VTEC isn't really a fair comparison. The vehicle will drive differently depending on which route you take in tuning, how each motor is built and tuned. There are too many variables to be an objective comparison IMO.

So my best advice is to pick up Mike Kojima's book, Honda / Acura Engine Performance The ISBN is 1-557-883-84-X. It discusses both Frankensteins and Turbo motors in detail and will help you choose what's best for your long term goals. For 18 bucks, it's a damn good read & resource.

Good Luck.
