If you want a turbo car why not just go get a chavs Impreza. If you really want a turbo VTEC just do it to VTi dont spoil a EK9
Sorry just my 2p's worth.
Dunx
how does it "spoil" the car? it makes it FASTER how is that spoiling? if you mean spoil like: "to treat really well" then yes i absolutely agree 
Btw, I didn't say that I like turbocharged EKs.
please explain how a turbo spoils the car, im really intersted to know why you say that
We are speaking about brutal force, feeling trully unbeaten right blinx? , but the EK9 signature goes along with VTEC and not with Turbo!! Turbo is common component for every car however, VTEC is not. I think it looses its identity in a way that's how I feel. Also the sound of an N/A EK9 in my opinion cannot be compared with the sound caused by forced induction. I think that vibrating melody of pure Vtec is the something else!!!

i do drive my car on the street sometimes, and a built all motor set up would just be way too loud. i do agree though it does sound awesome, but the turbo sound is really nice too. there both nice and different.
The N/A EK9 engine sounds "loud" only when you rev hard no matter if its modded or not(because of low cc, and hence low torque). Also if you have a small exhaust pipe or a silencer then it sounds ever less. Go to youtube and see some videos of the 2005 Ferrari FXX which runs a 6200cc engine with 508 lb-ft!!!, and you are gonna see that the sound even if is recorded on camera and not authentic, its very annoying in naked earif only the police agreed
Yes, that's true, I had a silencer within my Kakimoto Racing 60mm exhaust pipe(covered half of the hole) and when I removed it, the sound became irritating and the power more, especially torque. However, here because we live in a country with a bloody police, sooner of later I will have a proplem if I don't do something about it quicklysmall exhuast or silencers kill a lot of power though, especiall on a turbo car. even all motor, my car doesent even move with a silencer in place
Also, this summer I have to take it for M.O.T spec after two years of ownership(every two years ), too many mods were made since then........difficult days are coming 
It depends on what your planning to use your car for..... If you are using it only on track, put the lightest flywheel you can for high revving and don't be concerned about its drivabilityhey guys,
should i uprate my clutch & flywheel? what brand do you guys recommend? i heard that exedy comes stock on ek9's & dc2's. & half the people i asked told me that 4.1kg flywheel is the way to go & others told me to leave the stock one.
If you are using your EK9 in puplic roads in traffic then I recommend leave it as it is, because if you install a very light one then your car will not be as smooth in acceleration and deceleration as now. The faster the rpm go up, the same way drop and it will become a true nightmare in traffic!!!
