Thats not true at all. You can use a vtec head when turboing no problem. The b18 has more torque but less hp depending on the engine(c1 and c5 have higher hp but ls motor doesnt). If you go b16 get low comp pistons, hondata or uberdata, rods, and cams, springs, retainers, and better valves wont hurt. psi is not a figure you wanna go by when determining what turbo you want to use. How much whp are you lookin to get from your setup?

Yah...not sure. An LsVtec Turbo done right bro...makes a crap load of power. Im building one right now. Sleeved and bored to a 84mm..so basicly its a B20... Good luck.
