you need to do research, this topic has been covered quite a few times. I'm not sure if the mini-me is the same as the b-series frankensteins, but I'm sure it's similar.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or get mad.

the bottom half of the motor is what counts with boost.

first u have to look at the diff between a vtec head and non

all the vtec does is kick on a solnoid that makes the intake valves stretch open a little bit further when at a high rpm.

If anything you'd think that boost + vtec would be pretty fun to play with (i wouldn't know I've never driven a honda with the combination of the two).
