Turbo and NA motors are 2 different beasts. An NA motor has a lot of sharp, instant response, its sounds different, and is built (usually) to rev higher. A turbo motor has more power potential, hands down, sounds different again from an NA, can be just as reliable as an NA motor, but also can be more of a hassle to tune and own.
I'm really on the middle ground between motor builds, so I'm not going to knock anyone who turbo's their vtec motor. Why not? B-series vtec motors are balanced, have stronger parts than non-vtec honda motors, and flow a lot of air compared to the non-vtec honda motors. There is also huge amounts of aftermarket support and build information available, its not some unknown thing.
And for those with a b16b, a motor that honda built for NA power, you can sell the cams and that money can go towards turbo cams (or directly trade someone for GSR cams), sell the pistons and use that towards forged pistons with less compression. Then you can still use the other good parts, like ported head and upgraded valvetrain. And if you want to fully rebuild your motor to turbo spec, many stock b16b parts are in high demand and worth money.
And to say "if you wan't turbo just buy a turbo car" can't always apply. Not everyone has enough money for 2 cars, and maybe someone who does own a an ek9 wants the ek9's handling an great drive ability, but doesnt want to spend a lot of money on an NA build but they do want more power.
Might I add that different motors, either NA, supercharged, and turbo each have their place in different types of racing. For the street it really depends upon your time, budget, power goals, and how you want you're motor to behave.
