The only problem i've got with getting a turbo is the maintenance. I like the idea of bolting on a supercharger and forgetting about it (easy way out i know

) But if I got a real nice turbo would I have to worry more or less about this?

Also, I originally had ideas of getting at least some half decent torque throughout the whole rev range (quite hard i've heard!), and i suppose a turbo would just give me more top-end wouldn't it?

How does a turbo react with VTEC then? Would I leave VTEC at 5500 and set the turbo higher or lower (my redline is 8000).

Also, why is it not possible to run a supercharger and a turbo? I heard this was called a compound engine so it must have been done.

Oh, and do i have to worry that my engine just had it's 100,000 birthday!?

Thanks again
