2. 170whp (on a dynojet at that) is "monster" power?
4,000$ and they still wouldnt be able to beat a stock Type S

Rep Power: 275 remember this is with an AUTO at only 5 PSI. $17000 civic + $5000 for the turbo your at $22000. Thats still WAY cheaper then an RSX-S. Throw the kit on a manual and you will prolly take a type-s at 5 PSI. Also on a manual you can run a LOT more boost as long as your not slamming the gears. Eventually I will have a 250+WHP Auto sedan. Then we shall see. Rep for Dezod!

Rep Power: 272 I agree that 170whp is damn good for an auto. Logan3024 I think Dezod was saying that the spearco without same-sided endtanks wont work with his piping kit, not that they wont work on a 7thgen in general. I build all varieties of cars and I can tell you, what you get with Dezod is worth the money. I have gone many different routes building turbo cars. You have to factor in your time piecing a kit together, fitting, welding, working bugs out, etc. I could install Dezods kit in less than a day, I could also spend 3 days building a kit from scratch with 50k+ in tools and 10 years of experience. Depends on what you have to work with as far as time, money, and experience.
Dezod, I got a stock RSX Type-S, It took my manual EX about 180-190 whp to pull on it from a roll so you probably arent too far off. I've beat a few bolt-on GSRs outdriving them with the Type-S so its no slouch either.
