Well, I was going to stick to Peakboost. I am friends with Ken Peak the CEO of Peakboost Turbo Systems and I have always ran their products only. And for the cars that I owned that he didn't already have a kit for we produced the kit for it, lol. For example, my RSX, they didn't have a kit for it so we designed one. They make alot of stuff for the Evos and he has a 520whp stock motor Evo 8 that utilizes their kit with their top mount manifold. It was featured in D-Sport awhile back.

Here is Ken's car:

I am going to stay away from that Red Evo 8. I will look more into that silver & black evos that I was also planning to look into.

If you want a big turbo, GT35R, make sure it is the HTA option, it'll own the streets.


Did you have to build the bottom end for that Acura to make 400WHP?

I really don't want a real big turbo. I don't consider the GT30 a big turbo.

And no, I never built the bottom end of my RSX to get 400+whp. I have friends with stock motors running daily at over 500whp on their RSX's without a problem on stock motors. I personally choose to keep it between 425 & 450whp on pump because I want the motor to last awhile, lol
