Default Turbo-ing Vtec or Non-Vtec Engines

I was just wondering if it is 'better' to turbo a Vtec engine or a non-vtec honda engine. And why?

I was told it is better to turbo a non vtec engine or was i told fibs?

Eg. For a 1997 Si Prelude vs 1997 VtiR Prelude

if you can make torque at high rpm, you get more power than an engine that can't.
vtec all the way.

there's a rumor in riceboy land that the non-vtec integra motor has a stronger bottom end than the vtec. hogwash.
