You are talking to one. I want an S2000 and there would be no boost devices brought anywhere near it.
My favorite car of the 40 or so that I have owned was a CA18DE Silvia stripped to a shell inside that would melt your sneakers and make you deaf. I built a new induction system to bring in cold air through a hacked corner light, turbo injectors trimmed by an SAFC, a heavily wrapped HKS 4-2-1 header and a Toda lightweight flywheel feeding through a shortstroke shifted transmission to a turbo car viscous LSD and big wheels and tires. It wound up like a sport bike, always caught people by surprise and beat a few cars it wasn't supposed to.
That being said, I never opened that engine. I didn't cross that barrier into sinking serious money into a NFG NA build. When doing that one must be brutally honest about their funds, their skills or the skills of those they rely on for the work and their expectations. If you are ok with spending much, much more for less result, but getting that NA simplicity and scream, go for it! I'd be the first to say how awesome it looks sounds and feels.
