this will be a daily driver..
the reason i was thinking about the vtec was to keep my fuel economy.. smooth idle and to boost power (a little)..
after knowing this.. u still think it aint worth it for a daily driver?

LS/VTEC turbo is a beast, but so is a normal B18A/B turbo. The VTEC head will add more top end horsepower, and building the LS/VTEC the proper way will leave you with an engine prime for turbo'ing.
It all depends if you want to drop the cash on a VTEC head. They are pretty expensive, especially B18C heads. Add the cost off the parts to make a solid LS/VTEC, and you are out a lot of money that could have went into a turbo kit.
All in all, it's up to you.
