Nope but my brother might turbo his car at 5-6 psi. I'll be selling my car and be getting an RSX Type S 06 Black and boost that

The california tuner has the rev limit, timing, and fuel done so far, maps and mivec are next

Too much money to boost it and since mine isn't m/t, mine's cvt, if I break that belt, I'm f'D so better be safe then sorry. I will enjoy my car after the tune for awhile then trade it in that I know a car can handle the boost, you know.

As for my brother, he's is straight automatic so he should be fine with 5-6 psi.

Plus, I know a member who turbo'd their cvt and only lasted a couple of months I don't want to go through all that money and only have it for a couple of months..

Plus, my sponsor has a program for me if/when I do get this RSX Type S so it's a win/win for the both of us.

lol yup i was thinking that would be cool but to be honest ill be happy with 600-625 and stop there Im not lusting for more power. More power means more problems and more money. Im tired of spending money on this car. Seriously ready to drive it for more then a year i have only driven it for a total of 2 months the rest of the time its been down for the build or something wrong with it. I have owned the car 2 1/2 years so you do the math. Time to put money in the bank and watch it grow of course thats after i get it repainted.

I used to want a 02-05 rsx I actually have a bunch of brand new mods parts in storage for the car I thought I was going to buy one. Why the hell would you want to turbo a Fwd car?? RSX does look cool for sure but you know its no evo and your lancer already has so much work done to it. if you trade it in your going to get **** for dollars.

Ill let you know haa I have to save up the 2200 for the paint job which is not much and gary said he could knock it out in 7 days or so. So i might just stay up there and chill the week and drive back would be better for me then shipping my car and god knows what could happen. Most likely will not be going until after the shootout as ill have to use vac soon to go get my car finally and I like to save as much vac as I can you never know when you might need it.

haaa this could be cool get a couple evo guys in va beach hang out go to beach LOL night club whatever just chill should be cool and a good vacation for sure. Love meeting new evo guys considering there so rare down here. I just met this girl(on AF base) and she drives a modified G35 and was like i dont like evos I asked her why she said because when I was stationed in japan the evo guys were all tools and acting like they were better then everything. I laughed and say we are all not like that but you do have some tools in the bunch as in any car crowd.
