EMAIL FROM TURBO-XS! They need help to develop RDX products!!
They are eager to try some goodies on the RDX. In the email he said they would require the RDX for a day to start.
In return for the use of the vehicle, they will give the owner some free Turbo XS goodies.
Sounds good to me, but I'm located in BC Canada
Their located in Gaithersburg, Marylend.
For anybody who's interested, private message me and I will provide you with a contact at Turbo XS.

post the info, make it public. I see no reason for people to have to PM you for details.
actually, send me the details, perhaps we can get Turbo XS onboard as a sponsor

Y'know, some of us are a bit concerned about buying a first year model. Maybe I'm being overly cautious here, but I'd be really afraid of putting a first generation aftermarket part into a first year model.

ECU mapping through the UTEC ems. This will allow a professional tuner to increase boost, control timing and air/fuel ratios.
This will allow you to increase your boost safely, smooth out the powerband, and increase your horsepower and torque. Turbo upgrades will also be available once this system is in place.
Turboback Exhaust - Catless downpipe (pipe coming from turbo), catted midpipe, or race pipe (catless), and a less restrictive axleback (muffler). This will free up a lot of power as Turbo's work better when air isnt restricted.

An example of how easy it is to mod a Turbo car compared to Naturally Aspirated:
A mere ECU reflash (slight increase in boost, afr's, and smoothing) = 25 whp increase from stock on the WRX.
Add a Turboback Exhaust (less catalytic converters), and a new reflash w/ more boost (all safe and properly tuned) = 55whp over stock on the WRX.
Add a slightly larger turbo, injectors, and a new tune = 100whp over stock on the WRX.
Good luck getting any of those numbers out of a Intake/Exhaust/Headers on a NA car.
Oh and all of those mods cost me less than $2000 including dyno tuning.

An Intake for the RDX may not be a good idea. On the WRX it is bad because of the location of the MAF sensor and how aftermarket intakes can change the flow of air and thus give false readings. The RDX will most likely be the same. As it is, Cobb did a study where it compared the STOCK Legacy GT airbox to the brand new SPT (Subaru Performance Tuning) Short Ram Intake and it found almost 0% change in performance. The stock airbox is perfect the way it is. A Cold Air Intake is very bad for the WRX.
