Upon closer inspection, it sounds like it runs pretty well:

After extensive research and development and the requisite fine tuning, this TSX was able to throw down more than 350 hp on its initial dyno runs. Ortega believes more power is very possible once they're able to get a new clutch made for the car, since the factory assembly was really struggling to hold the power. It's not entirely clear whether or not a consumer version of this turbo kit will be available in the future, but we sure hope so.

Still solidly in the "cool but useless" category though.

I can assure you that turbo kits will pop up left and right once engine management is available. Until then, there will be nothing.

Like JTso said, there are no engine runing options that don't give up certain aspects of the car, which many deem to be unacceptable. Until a viable engine management solution becomes available, nobody is going to put the time in to build a kit that cannot be tuned and would become a major headache for the manufacturer.

All right...if there are no pics by the end of the day today, I am locking the thread until the OP coughs up the pics.

If the OP sees this, he should PM me when he actually has pictures to share and I will re-open the thread and update the thread title.
