depends on how much power you want to make and how much money you want to dump into it.

well thats obvious. But i hjeard the Vtec can be a pain in the ass when it comes to boosting. Also im not planning on dumping my whole bank but i do want to do the best bang for the buck with sable reliability

vtec and boost go together like peanut butter and jelly. you just have to know what you're doing. but that's a given. the common saying is:

1. fast
2. cheap
3. reliable

pick two cause you cant have all three.

then it's not going to be cheap. set a realistic budget and hp goal and work from there.
