      RevHard also makes a turbo kit for the RSX. I know the owner of the company and a few people who already installed it. I was reading that forum and one guy was saying how they are going to get his rsx to boost 25psi. LOL. Maaaybe if you tore down the entire block and rebuild it with amazing reinforced parts and even then its still doubtful.

      There's just not alot of room for the turbokit in that car. I wonder how it will handle the heat generated from the turbocharger. They should come up with a way to eliminate the MAF sensor so they wont need a air filter jammed in there like that.

      P.S. For such a nice car, why the cheap autometer guages? Apexi EL, Blitz DC Sport, HKS guages.

          The users name was wdsonny or whatever. Saying how his buddy wont even get traction even in 5th gear. Just a bunch of big talkers. Most of these naturally aspirated engine cars boost about 6-9psi. (I'm boosting 1.2bars = 18psi at the moment. On a upgraded XS turbocharger). Should be doing around 22psi but After my $1200 modified emissions violations ticket, I'm not risking running 550-660cc injectors and no catalytic converter again). Plus gas prices are ridiculous. With an onboard Walboro fuel pump, you get on the throttle, the thing drinks more gas than your ordinary V8.

          People are cheap and they install stuff themselves, alot of times incorrectly. That is why you get some of these mishaps. You dont think cars have burned down from other kits? Alot of the times, it may not be due to the turbocharger. You screw up the wiring, something shorts and catches fire, and that will do it.

            Dude that sucks. How did you get the ticket? Did you get pulled over for something else and he checked under the hood?

              I got nailed on the offramp of Reseda Blvd (118E). by CHP. My car had a blitz front bumper with a touring spoiler (which i dont have now), tinted windows, slammed like 2inches off the ground with no front plate. He went straight for the hood and exhaust. I was cited on illegal blow off valve, unconnected PCV, intake(which was legal), exhaust (thank god he didnt figure out the testpipe which is another $2500 fine) and I was sent to the B.A.R. for further inspection. Basically I had to hide everything and yank out some stuff to pass. I pleaded with the judge during my trial and I lucked out. The judge was a cool guy and dropped the charges and let me get off with a $10 clerical fine

              After that I got pulled over twice more by the same CHP officer but I had my paperwork and the car was clean.
