I am sorry Shakran, but you are wrong on this one. I'm not sure who you've been talking to but I know quite a few guys who are pretty heavy into Honda tuning and work at import tuner shops......Hondas dont like boost. Period.
I know you have a turbo Honda, and thats cool, but my point is, guys who are far more serious than you or your buddy about Honda performance steer quite clear of turbos.
Why do you think there are no factory turbo Hondas? Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Saab, VW and Volvo all produce factory turbo cars....why not Honda? Shit even Honda's supposed "supercar" NSX is N/A. Why? Because, like I said before, Honda opts to make their power with a tightly wound, high-compression, very high-revving engine. The compression on a stock B18c is right around 11:1, and stock B16a and H22a engines are about 10.5:1. Those kinda of compression ratios are not boost friendly. Anyone who knows anything about boost could tell you that.
