My NA sounds turbo'd.....
yea this might sound kind of weird...
Everytime i take my car to around 6k rpms, it starts sounding like a turbo spooling....its kinda like a ball bearing noise...it only really happens through 1 and 2 gear....havent heard it in 3rd.......
i know its not turbo so thats out of the question......
what is it?

Lot's of room for speculation here. Could be a clutch or tranny bearing...tranny whine? Sounds to me like the ACV is not properly connected to the silencer. There is a hose running from the ACV to a cannister under the pass side headlamp assembly. Check to make sure that it's still hooked up properly.

You got a MX-3 sideways? Nice... My MX-3 tended to have a similar whine around 5k(the sohc)...still have the BP in my garage that was about to be swapped into it.
I miss my 3...lost it to a car wreck(not my fault). Now all I have is the 7, and prolly soon a second FC ^_^

My Prelude does that and it's a bone stock H23 (non-VTEC)... I have a custom intake I made and it makes that pssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh blow-off valve sound when i take it between 4-6K rpms as well, especially when I shift.

I once had a tiny pin hole leak at the manifold and it sounded like a turbo spooling starting around 3000 rpm and kept getting louder 
My alternator screams like a little bitch now and that is my turbo sound maker at the moment. No need to be an exhaust whistle now
