Be patient ppl this guy isn't bullsh!ting...it isn't like he dosen't have the money to do it, look at his ride in the members ride section...$2500 lcd touch screen, dvd/cd head unit for his stereo,$800 body kit, $1000 worth of seats, $500 cf hood, etc. etc. etc. He's either rich and telling the truth... or his credit cards are maxxed out, and he can't afford to pay for his turbo app, and they won't give back his car.

Rep Power: 0 VTEC with turbo is ok, but like you said high rpm's.
Non vtech will give you better low end then the vtec and with the turbo you'll end up ahead each time. not to mention less can go wrong with out the vtec parts then with.
Plus the lack of sun roof helps with the weight...less of it.

Rep Power: 0 Actually if you plan on going with a turbo setup an lx is a better choice. The compression ratio in an lx is lower than that of the ex. Hence lx owners can run a higher amount of boost on stock internals than an ex without worrying about breaking anything internal.
