Replacing a few things. Going to pull the upper section of the downpipe and have some O2 bungs welded up there. Vit said I should try to keep the sensor close to where they were with stock downpipe, opposed to it being down the pipe where the civics usually have it mounted. And this ain't no civic. Also the ELD, and ECT2 lower temp sensor at the bottom of the radiator.

I used a -6an hose and a female -6an to -8an fitting. Also I used a male -8an to -10an on the cooler. I would recommend going -8an hose and hose fitting though, the -6an was a tight fit.

I don't think he will be tuning it anymore. I not sure he feels comfortable doing it via-E.

At only 6-7psi, I'm sure the turbo is like "please....." It's got tons left..
Hi, Ken, do you turn off check engine with this aftermarket turbo or we go upgrade turbo them. when I have check engine on (some case) the ecu use 5 lb of boost.

Yeah, top notch for FD's,Eg's,DC's, manual tranny's. Dumped about a couple grand there and car drove like a Civic. Sad part is my last tune there was on my birthday in '14, the wife gave me a hand full of cash and said "have fun babe". Went there and they could not do anything with it, left with no gains; and still had to pay... Long shitty drive home...

You do realize that we're basically driving big 4000lb civics right? Your's was one of the first rdx's tuned if I remember right. Along with cams too. You can't just expect great things on a new platform right off the bat.
