so wait you have built the k20a you have now??? did you touch the internals or are you talking about the bolt ons you have. i ask because i am already in love with your car. and with a built n/a motor gawd damn what i would do. i was showing my wife pics of your car and she felt the same way. it really is a piece of art. very clean and functional. nothing over done at all or under done for that matter. in my opinion

No clips yet.. Im going to post some when i get the tune.. But i think my 02 Sensor has gone out.. So i cant tune it till i fix that. DANG.. Got to go to kregan or something. Hopefully i dont have to get it from honda/acura and im working out a few bugs.. ie making the drop level, Oil pressure gauge went out yesturday, and i need an alignment.. In the mean time my 7psi Pully came in, 2 Sparco 4 point harnesses, my single gauge pod, and some of my sponsor stickers. Got to go pick up seats and stuff.. So be back later

supercharging allows you to retain most of the characteristics of an NA tuned engine. And im setting my car up for acceleration vs top speed. Yeah its less hp, but less hp=less wheel spin. Bassically, when im done im going for thime attacks. So rather than waiting for the turbo to spool up, i can hit the gas and go!

in all honesty you can size the turbo to the correct spec and pull off the same thing except you will reach full power at a lower rpm. which can prove to be easier on the internals. maxing out a s/c does have its disadvantages especially a roots or screw type because the only way to cool the air is alky/water injection. you are correct though that it does allow you to retain the n/a charactaristics. i think you will be stoked on the new set up. i cant wait to see the numbers your going to put down.
