Default Should I boost? or stay N/A...?

yo guys whats up, im new to this site and id like to say wasup to all the dc5 owners out there! I recently bought my DC5 just a couple of days ago,its not a type s ..but i AM satisfied with my car, now the question is...should i boost? because on k20a3 motors, wouldnt it be good to boost because of the low compression pistons thats already installed in the car? or should i just leave it N/A and just go all motor..this has been a question that has been struggling in my mind for quite some time now and i would like to hear opinions ffrom other dc5 oweners..any good input will help! thank you guys! and w00t and honda-tech!

a base n/a motor is pretty much pointless...

Ive seen a good amount of k20a3's turbo'ed and there quick man. The type-s is good for basic bolt-ons to get you down into the 13's. Turbo your Rsx and get low 14's i bet.

That makes no sense. You'll be faster boosted. N/A is expensive and peaks around 260 whp. Turbo is pretty much limitless.

Boost yo, however, get er done right! Don't wanna blow that expensive K20 engine. Even an A3 still costs a grip.
