Superstreet talks about TSX turbo
So i was looking at pics of one of the shows in this months superstreet magazine and it says that one of the pictures is of a 05 TSX with turbo and says it's pretty cool. So last i heard there was no ecu to make it work completly with all the cars features. did i miss something? i think i will be writing to superstreet to find out what turbo setup they are reffering to and what the guy used on his tsx.

I was told by Greddy that the E-Manage Ultimate does work with DBW equipped cars so I will be trying this setup and will post the results. The only system that I know of that is guaranteed to work is the HKS F-CON V Pro but I don't know how many of you are willing to spend that kind of money. When the TSX turbo kit is released without the fuel/ignition sytem, it will include:
- Turbonetics T3/T04E turbo
- Spearco FMIC
- 2.5" downpipe
- Tial wastegate
- cast turbo manifold
- Greddy Type-RS BOV
- all chromed I/C piping
- battery tray
- all silicon couplers and clamps
- all hardware
- oil sending/return lines
- fuel and vacuum lines
Certain components of the kit can be upgraded for additional cost i.e., 3" downpipe, ball-bearing turbo, HKS BOV, etc...
This is still not certain yet so please let me know what you guys think.

for 3500 I can get a guy to build one for me anywhere I want even mounted under the car, and the manifolds he fabs are identical if not better than Full-Race's pricey mani's. Now to tune with Kpro
boo. However I doubt very much that I'll FI a brand new car with warranty.. No I'm staying N/A until I get my 510

You can use K-Pro for the TSX....it's simple.
You have to use 2 ECU's(1 to run K-pro and 1 to run gauges,etc) People have already done it. Ask Doug @ Hondata.
