Not doing it at all would help. Turbocharging a motor built to be a nice NA engine is stupid. Why waste $5k on motor with high compression to turbocharge?

lowering the compression would help. but doing that to an itr engine is such a waste.

so are you saying supercharging a type r is the only option?
and
so supercharging one would be better than turboing it?

the only option with an itr, IMO, is staying NA
