NA is simply that, the natural aspiration of the motor without forced induction.

The main reason for boosting is for </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://friedrice.blogspot.com/feeds/6575048873067337078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://friedrice.blogspot.com/2012/01/to-boost-or-not-to-boost.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350065673413423651/posts/default/6575048873067337078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5350065673413423651/posts/default/6575048873067337078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://friedrice.blogspot.com/2012/01/to-boost-or-not-to-boost.html' title='To Boost or not to Boost?'/><author><name>Fried Rice</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NKcpiRx-V-M/TxvlO7rpeBI/AAAAAAAAAFg/KFbNObKAOvM/s72-c/Blog_3_Turbo_0.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350065673413423651.post-1921864584391435782</id><published>2012-01-17T13:19:00.004+10:30</published><updated>2012-01-25T12:45:06.408+10:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vitz'/><title type='text'>Echo Sportivo Inspiration - YASHIO Factory</title><summary type='text'>via Super Street Online

I first saw their touge (mountain pass racing) spec in Best MOTORing International Volume 7: The EVO Strikes Back! in Touge Showdown 3 - Touge 200 Class. Boosted with a Blitz Supercharger and decked out with YASHIO Factory goodies, the Vitz made a surprising performance package!
