It's stopped me. lol. Generally, the extra money needed to safely add boost to an NA motor is a deterrent. From a pure dollar-to-horsepower stance you get a better return on your investment starting FI and upgrading, than you do slapping on an afterthought turbo kit from random tuner. The motor wasn't meant to handle boost, usually yields bad results over an extended period of time.

Granted at a certain point every engine needs to be rebuilt to withstand more power, but a motor designed to handle boost will typically put that off longer.

Just my $.02
