Default ITR Turbo......an oxy-moron?

Hey all, i dont really post in Honda-tech but I've got a bone to pick.
I'm all for N/A but I've seen people here talk about boosted Type-Rs, and i've seen one or two on the street and it just pissess me off, being that the car is designed for all motor with hella-high compression, alot of companies dont even make turbo kits for the ITR because of this. I mean seriously, a gsr would have been a much better investment and produced greater numbers, even though Type-Rs do have alot of better things on it, could you all explain why you put FI in yours?

I used to argue this same point...but people get mad when you question their boost.

Let people do what they want to their cars. What's with putting people down for doing what they want? It's their car not yours.

Compression should be no issue, if you were going to do a big boosting setup you'd change the pistons no matter what.

Turbo anything and do it wrong you are going to get screwed in the long run. ITR's are not the only car with an engine you can blow with a turbo.
