If AGP is right about that then installing a sheet metal intake manifold, (I would assume) would be easy as well!

Can't wait to see some of those on the front of the motor. I hate the way the stock plastic engine covers look though :-/

Though with some valve cover paint... mmm the possibilities

I really dont think this will be an issue guys. I would imagine any turbo worth installing will have a tough time fitting back there either way. I believe that this will lead to offset turbokits off to the back right side of the engine bay (much like the RSX/TSX kits do it, just google them). The only hard part in that scenario will be fitting the manifold, but it would be easier than an IM on the IX. Sounds good to me, Id rather work from the side than the front with that da^n fan and radiator anyday.

You should compile a list of all the biggest 10 haters... maybe in the offtopic forum and then routinely check it to see how many have changed their minds and bought one.

I have nothing against the 10 but I hate the f[]king ugly front bumper. I'm hoping someone with some class will make an aftermarket bumper that will give me wood. When that day comes I will go out and pay cash for one.

I only buy cars and trucks that I truely love the look of. Something that I'm sure I will be happy with for years to come. The 8 and 9 both increase my heart rate just looking at them having flashbacks to trackdays and races that make me smile. As soon as the 10 ditches the audi/VW front end it will more than likely make my heart skip a beat as well.
