Default Turbo K20a3???

has anyone supercharged the K20a3 (rsx base) i heard they respond well to boost and can hold up 15 psi. i came to the conclusion that the A3 is the "K series LS motor) b/c its DOHC non-vtec, instead of the 1.8 its 2.0 thus improving the all new LS aka K20A3...thats my $0.02

the a3 also runs on only 12 valves before like 1000RPM, then crosses over to 16. thats where the "VTEC" is.

Isn't a turbocharger classified as a supercharged by definition?
