Just be careful and be sure to make your turbo and VTECH synchronized because you may have an idle problem.

Because if the phone rings, when the boost is active, it will launch you into space.

Just some helpful advice.

Or maybe it will launch you back to the future... depending on the speed, but apparently if you have a turbo and a vtech phone and then you go to 80 miles per hour it can happen.

No you will not... I've never heard of anyone disconnecting their VTEC.

The vtech and turbo should work together just a reminder. if you done it right you will not get any problems with it.

Oh honda engines LOVE boost. I have boosted quiet a few of them, and have several friends that have boosted hondas on stock internals, and they have had no problems. I'm telling you, the secret to having a safe boosted honda is in the tune. Make sure you have a tool so that you can listen for detonation. ANd make sure you dont get crazy with the boost level. Any honda can handle 10psi just fine, as long as you do it right. My own car was running 15psi on a stock 2000 LS integra for almost a year before I wanted more boost.

But to get back to the ?, no, you will have no problems running vtec with boost. Just get it tuned right, and all will be fine.
