ok kpro installed, manifold bolted, turbo bolted, wastegate installed, gauge installed, oil feed installed, oil return installed, 3'' custom made v-band downpipe and exhaust done....

it look stupid but for the moment what gave me a freaking headake is the oil return...

we removed the oil pan of the s2k last week and it took about 15min...

now starting to do mine on the TSX... TOOK 2h30!!!!

didnt realised that the sub frame needed to be uninstalled to remove the oil pan...

anyway ill update pics by tomorrow....

Keep up the steady progress; this community needs someone to finally get the nuts & bolts of this worked out, that way alot of us can copy the work and enjoy.

Nice work!!! After I sold my turbo d-series I've been missing boost in my life...I actually have a 05 si computer coming for the Hondata and I've been thinking about buying and modifying a peakboost rsx kit.

Good work. I would love to drive a turbo TSX. The RDX is fun but just too heavy.

oh and don't forget to go datalog at least 3 times on the street after the tune on the dyno is done. The af ratios will read quite leaner due to more air moving through your radiator.
