if it is a CL9, I would seriously get a BBK (Big Brake Kit) to complement the turbo kit. the stock CL9 brakes are tiny.

in the end, it all depends on how deep your pocket is to spend on engine mods along with suspension, bushing, brakes, clutch pack, ECU tune, proper intake, proper exhaust front to back, proper intercooler, wheels, tyres, etc... well that's how I look at modifying.

it also takes experience, knowledge, the right parts and the right workshop to do things right and achieve results.

its about being able to enjoy the rarity of a boosted VTEC-equipped vehicle, all the while having luxuries like sunroof, leather, creature comforts, great styling, etc... a BMW M3 has it all, for $150k ;p
VTEC bimmer? ;p

Serious question, because the other honda turbo (K23A1 in the Acura RDX), actually removed all exhaust Vtec components, and intake side is not a true vtec operation either.
Comparatively, on my previous turbocharged integra with vtec disengaged my torque curve was noticeably lower for bottom to mid-range power. I wonder why?

VTEC would almost always engage after boost kicked in and I loved it.

However with my current setup there is no VTEC crossover as there are no supporting cam profiles.
