I just recently assembled an Ls vtec setup using a 1991 B18A block and a 1999 PR3-2 b16 head. I want turbo the motor with a T3 or T4 and push like 9-12 lbs of boost. Anybody know if the ls vtec are good turbo candidates? Let me know if ya got some info.

On stock internals you should boost between 6lbs-8lbs at the MOST, would hate to see an LS/vtec go up in smoke cause of improper tuning.  If you want to boost higher, you're going to have to start replacing pistons, sleeves, cams, springs, etc.

I wouldn't go more than 6 on a stock bottom end
