Honda have deliberately shied away from turbocharging as they always felt turbo lag and lack of response sullied the driving feel of a car, they have gone on record about this many times. If anything, they were trying to approach the design of their engines with driver involvement in mind - which is surely something they should be applauded for as many manufacturers simply only have profit as their motivation. However, turbocharger technology has moved on a great deal and I would agree that modern day Honda needs to go down this route to stay relevant.

Instead of turbo lag they have vtec 'lag' though? 
I just can't get on with the vtak at all, driven a few and genuinely the only one i've ever really like was Mark Francis's crx. It felt fast, anything else, teg type r's etc felt slow 
I've never been in an s2000 to know what they are like though..
