honda heads flo pretty dam good from the factory.you should be fine like the guy above you said.but while you have the head off,and you have the money invest in some s/s valves
and some retainers and you should be good to go.

Typically you have a different ratio of exhaust port size when compared to the intake side for turbo and N/A. If its an N/A head then opening up the exhaust ports more for a turbo would be a good idea.

that is what i was thinking, but was wondering if boost had a method of porting such as the high to low like all motor does.
