I won't be able to get my downpipe/midpipe done unfortunately. I would like to see a 13.4x or 100mph. I think last time I had almost 3/4 tank. Going to plan for 1/4 tank.

Hi, thanks the wrench for turbo upgrade idea, I felt the difference immediately, the engine does not feel restricted, turbo pounds are kept up to high rpm, no back pressure. I m happy, worth the money spend on this.

When I go dyno let them know. Now I m street tuned.

2009 rdx, flashpro, bc cam, skunk2 intake, zdx throttle body, water intercooler and now turbo upgrade :-)

in short KENBEN's build on the engine...

with the upgraded turbo all you need is the custom intake and bolt on parts to take full advantage of it.
this would be more along the lines of my build.

Why do you need a custom intake for this upgraded turbo set-up?

Do you have part numbers for the RBC intake manifold, ZDX throttle body and the adapter needed? Also what gains are expected from these two parts and do they bold right on no modification necessary? Thanks, in advance for all of your help.

There is no aftermarket (front mount) for the rdx. Only option is aftermarket top mount or custom front mount.

Yeah, we have almost no aftermarket support. I’m just thankful for the people on the forum who have ventured out and let us know what works on our RDX’s. I’ll be doing some of that soon too and letting everyone know how it works out for me.
