Default question about vtec with turbo

i have a 99 gsr. if i got a turbo kit, would i be able to hear vtec still? or is vtec basically only audible on n/a cars with i/h/c/e/cams and other ish? which leads me to my question of, is vtec pointless with boost? just trying to clear some things up. thanks.

Here are the facts about VTEC and Turbos:

You can not really hear vtec crossover anymore
You have other sounds you can hear, turbo spooling up
You can really feel the vtec kick in
