Honda ignition can handle boost no problem, but the msd will be a little better for the spark under the high dynamic compression numbers produced w/ a turbo.

But hey... if you have the money...go for it....

have several cars doing just that. And with stock ignition as well. The OEM ignition system is PLENTY strong enough provided you have it maintained properly.
