Icon2 VTEC & Turbo

So I've been told that you shouldn't put a Turbo on an engine that has VTec, is that true or not? And if so why? Just wondering, kinda new to what and what not to do to with your Honda. Thanx in advance.

Wow wrong info there. Turbo on a Vtec motor is just like any other motor. The tuner will just have to know how to tune boost while in Vtec on out of Vtec.

I heard that VTEC is just like turbo, only it's better than turbo, and if you add turbo you have to spray it with a shot of nawwwws too or you will lose power cuz the JDM VTEC only works without turbo, if you have us VTEC then its good for turbo, but not nawws, and if you have eu VTEC then your screwed because without turbo the VTEC wont work at all...

If this was meant to be humorous. You failed. If it was meant to be factual, in some twisted manner, you really failed.

Yeah those are pure cold hard facts man........................

Obviously it was intended to be humorous, sorry you didn't see the humor in it, you are pretty grumpy though, so I wouldn't expect you to think it was funny.

Turbo Vtec + nawwwws FTMFW.
