My car is in my signature, should i turbo it ( around 7 psi for now) without making any more mod's to my engine? or maybe supercharger for there lower compression?

turbo man turbo. any idead what your compression is with those type r slugs and your vtec head is now. that'll help decide the amount of boost you can run.

no clue.. do you know of any way to see what your compression is?

sorry to have to disagree but boost is a bad idea, the ITR pistons will bump the compresion up to 11.1 way too high for turbo. The only FI taht I would reccomend would be Nitrous a wet kit at that. Nitrous works great with high compression, unlike turbo's. Unless you want to change the pistons then boost is not a option that I would suggest.

even if i only run 7 psi turbo is a bad idea with these pistons?

Well high compression ratio and it being a LS/VTEC IMO yes.

New cams they will make a good difference in power.

15-25hp depending on which cams you go with.

wouldn't this just be like running turbo on a stock type r?

you need EXTENSIVE valvetrain upgrades before you can run stage3 cams. only cams you can run without valvetrain upgrade (valve springs, retainers, etc) is stage 1, and even then its recommended that you upgrade.

nobody runs turbo on a stock ITR engine. they'll swap the pistons first. running boost on a 11:1 comp ratio is hella dumb
