I have seen crvtec's on nitrous make 300 @ the wheels on stock internals same motor put rods and pistons in made 375 @ the wheels. This was a daily driver too. All this was on nitrous which is way harder on the motor then a turbo. Weak sleeves is just an excuse that weak tuners use to justify all their broken motors. I have a stock b20 vtec with a t3 turbo pushing 300 @ the wheels daily driven in the california central valley heat no problems what so ever tuned with hondata s200. Just get your motors tuned by a compotent tuner and don't worry about it. Just my opinion, take it for what it is worth.
