I'm taking the RDX to the shop (https://www.facebook.com/precisionau...opment?fref=nf) tomorrow and they will be welding my new charge pipe and making an aluminum air box around this filter for a clean look.

you have it go play with it if all your doing is running the stock 800cc tune you can always reload it if the cars unhappy with what you do. just datalog first so you have a general direction to move in. mine seems to like 11.78-11.91 lots of pull. and google/youtube are your friends for learning whats what.

Wow, I've been missing some threads here on AZ. This is way more interesting than the Silverado/Sierra forum where people discuss the virtues of leveling kits and bed liners.

I paid 350.00 for the charge pipe and the intake weld. I'll ask him what he charges for just the parts tomorrow.

might be worth getting a different end tank on the intercooler in order to make piping easier.

Builds are't cheap. I already have the ETS top mount coming. If we can find an adapter for our transmission to mount the 6speed k20a, then we don't have much use for the front mount. I'm sure we are hitting limits with this build.
