c'mon guys, where'd you hear all this stuff? Honda motors love turbos. Most of them will take 9lbs of boost with NO buildup whatsoever.
If you're planning on dropping this engine into an Integra, I'd probably stick with the B18. Make sure it's an A or B, not a C or C5 motor, as VTEC and boost, while doable, present a LOT more tweaking problems than normal engines. A turboed B18 in an integra would be plenty fast.
Do you really want a turbo though? That's good for overall performance, but a lot of people like that "kick in the ass" feeling of instant power, which you'll get from supercharger. Friend of mine has a supercharged B18 in his 95 Civic and the thing goes like crazy. Oh, and Stare-at-the-Sun, his car routinely beats LS1 corvettes on road tracks. How is that shit for performance? It's all in the power-to-weight ratio and in the fact that he can corner a lot faster than them
