Default Is it worth turbo?

I have a d6 non vtec and i plan on doin a mini me swap. Is it worth putting a turbo on it without vtec? And are there good power gains with this setup?

and for the a-holes out there i am asking, are the power gains from putting a turbo on a non vtec vs a vtec d16 worth the trouble?

No. No power gains for turboing a motor. None.

Okay *******, look at it this way then......you want to add some tuning complications by having vtec? Or do you want to simplify things a little bit?

Pick one.

They both are great to boost.

Save your money for the turbo. If you go mini me it will bump the compression a bit and will add another thing to wurry about as stated earlier. It would be easier to just turbo the non vtec A6.
