Do NOT stroke the motor and attempt to rev it. Actually, just don't stroke it at all. Stroking the engine makes for a shorter rod ratio, which will drastically reduce the motor's ability to rev. Stroking is the worst idea to hit Hondas since Daytons.

As for your turbo staying spooled, it's the least of your worries. If you're gonna run a turbo that big, it won't be spooled until the top of second gear anyways, and its own rotational inertia will be enough to keep it going. The ability to rev the engine will not reduce the amount of turbo lag you experience. If you're that worried about it, go with something smaller. A t3/t4 will give you more than enough (up to about 1.5 bar) for just about any "amateur" setup.
