Hey eceryone,

When I purchased my '07 RDX a couple weeks ago I asked the Acura service tech if there are any toys I can add to the motor/engine/turbo, I asked about a blow off valve to sum it up. I know its not a performance upgrade, but damnit it just sounds cool. He told me that the turbocharger in our RDX's are to unique and modifying the turbo at all would hinder performance... is this correct? Can I not add anything to hear that beautiful sound? I did see that there are intake systems available for the RDX though, I know I'd be able to get a better sound of the spooling turbo from one and a possible hp increase of about 5-10. Your advice is very much appreciated!

 

get a intake and you will hear the lovely WOOSH sound plus the bonus of a intake.. orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr if you must have a BOV you need to get one that fits a mazda speed 3.. if you search the forum there are topics on it

 

Thanks bluecarbonfiber, any recommendations on brand of intake? the only one I could find was this http://www.ebay.com/itm/K-N-Performance-Intake-Kit-69-0017TS-/251353706990?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CModel%3ARDX&hash=item3a85d931ee&vxp=mtr

 

depends on what you want to pay,, k&n, weapon-r, or cp-e intakes are all good.. i have K&N and i like it.. Cp-e will give you the better gain in hp..

 

Cp-e

 

I would recommend against any BOV that vents to atmosphere in vehicles that use MAF based fueling.

 

this is why you get the mazda speed 3 BPV..

here is what people have been ordering https://www.streetunit.com/ProductDe...e=TS-0997-1009

it is a straight swap in

 

Thanks, it's still a better option to get a CAI right? Not only will I get the sound I desire, but I'll get the extra 8 HP?

 

yes and yes this will give you an idea what it sounds like inside the vehicle..
