Re: turbo ls vtec
why dont you build it for what your going to do? then you wouldnt have to worry about that.
and ls vtec isnt great for boost due to some sort of ratio of the stroke or something like that. enigma has a long speech about it in another post.

Re: turbo ls vtec
of course, when putting a turbocharger on any car, you must first build up the internals so things DON'T blow
It's pretty much common sense that you want to upgrade the internals from stock to a level that can handle all the extra horsepower provided by the turbo

i say go ls turbo
save your money from purchasing a vtec head to buy internals/fuel/tune
and upgrade your turbo kit
either go Ls/Vtec NA or LS Turbo
