Default Need your comments on building a Y5

so I have this long block at home for a while and i think will do some build to it for fun, i hear that Y5 head (P2J-5) has a Vtec-e, so my question is if i build this engine for turbo will this head cause me problem? can i run a aftermarket intake manifold in it and tune ECU for this engine late on? still dont know what car will it be in!
comment are welcome

Leave that engine alone or sell it and get one suitable for building/boosting. Don't even bother putting the matching head on it.

Don't understand then? If you've seen other people use them then follow what they have already done.
