Because people will buy it. Plain and simple.

It isnt common at all. Because real tuners who know their shit dont do it, and other people like to turn the boost up and they go boom.
Look I think you are missing my point. I am not saying that you cant turbo/SC a Honda. I am not saying that if you do, it cant be made fast. My point is that Honda engines were
never designed with anything but high-revving N/A power in mind.
Theres a reason Honda manufacturers never produced a turbo car. And since they are the actual engineers, I would tend to trust them over a buddy or two of yours that said, "Man wouldnt it be cool if i added a turbo to this Honda.....just to see if I can do it without it blowing up??......Wow it hasnt blown up yet....must be absolutely safe and reliable.....damn I know so much more than Honda engineers do."
So, to the original poster, I am telling you.....like I said before.....adding a turbo to a Honda is not a good idea. Honda engineers agree with me. Shakran and his buddies dont. So I guess believe who you want.....
Just go find a turbo Toyota (Supra, or MR2 turbo if you can afford it) or a decent Nissan 240sx and swap in an SR20. Done and done.
