Im about to go to sleep. I suggest you stay up and SEARCH a bit about vtec and turbo.
Vtec and Turbo together are a GREAT setup. Non-Vtec and turbo together are a GREAT setup too. i-VTec and turbo also is a great setup.
Your moms minvan and turbo is a great setup.
Get the point?
Turbo > NA

Re: (Stock_LS)
I have a turbo B18C1 and I really don't see the problem. I've driven turbo B18B1s and also a turbo DA Integra once. I really didn't see much difference except top end. When I am in boost, I don't hear the vtec; I hear the motor.
