if u want to drive a turbo car.. invest into a turbo car like a sab.. that way u can play with it alot easier and its more friendly with the motor
boost is fun until ur car is on a tow truck .. ive seen it happen way to offten
its a honda man.. N/A is the way to go!.. guys here in kitchener ontario have CRX's and 91 HB doing 12.1 in the QM on NA motors.. and now they are upgrading there frankistien b16/b18 motors to k20 motors

Boosting NA cars does have its benifits and, if done correctly, isn't a big reliablility issue. High compression, low boost applications can yeild great off boost response with stong bottom end power, just like and NA with the great top end of a turbo. If those frankenstein NA crx's are running 12's what are the boosted crx's running??? Id say at most 12's more likely in the 11's for about the same amount of money it would take to get an NA to the same level.
CAI on turno is pretty much a waste, what cool air does make it to the turbo is just super heated to a pretty constant temp that the turbo it at, HOT. An efficent intercooler setup is where its at.
