2017 best turbo upgrade

I have been cruising all the old threads looking for different combos and dyno numbers and just havent seen much. Looking for anyone too chime in and let me know what turbo mods/upgrades they have done and what kind of numbers it is laying down- Now I will shut up and sit back and read!

because NO ONE HAS that answer.
modding cars is experimental.
TheWrench and KenB experiment and spend thousands and thousands, only to be marginally faster.

if you want a quick SUV, maybe the Acura wasnt a good choice.

Ok, it's be happy Friday! The cost will greatly depend on your preference. You haven't seen much because this is all new to the RDX. Most of these modifications are prototype in the making. You are welcome to step foot in the RDX modification world and make a footprint if you'd like.

The advantage of the RDX over similar sized CUV is the handling with sh-awd. The RDX is too heavy, shaped like a brick, never enough hp/tq from the 2.3L turbo, and too much drivetrain loss with the sh-awd+5AT to make her a 0-60 dragstrip sprinter. She is a much better dancer on the Nurburgring course because of her handling from the tight suspension, sh-awd, and turbo TQ in the mid-range or rpms (along with the right tires). You can carry more speed into a corner and need less hp/tq on the exit with the RDX. I just added Hondata, ETS intercooler, Hondata heatshield gasket, eibach lowering springs, larger Progress RSB, and Conti DWS tires. I only got under 40 hp/tq from the combo for around $3200 parts/labor over the last 9 years; but, it was enough for me.

Wow 13.3 isn't fast...?...

jk

id I'd recommend reading kens entire build thread and not to toot my own horn Anything I started as well.
If you want 300+ whp and 400+ wtq then give me your rdx and 5500$ and you'll go fast.

did you never get an actual TUNE? i know that its around 950 or more when you consider the cost of the hondata plus the tune but it so worth it especially when there is so much left on the table...

Precision turbo will change your turbo to ball bearing for $600 if you send in your turbo. I wonder if this would be worth it?

Do they have any before and after dyno numbers to share? Blouch turbos do. And not just my build either.
