Check out the thread on HKS turbo for the TSX. If enough people are serious, they may produce a kit. For the right $$$, they may produce a kit anyway. Nothing wrong with inquiring.

Cybernation will probably be the first to market with a turbo kit. It looks good so far.

I tend to think it does on smaller displacement engines whose power band favors higher RPMs, where turbos become more effective since they're spooled up by that point. Personally, I'm surprised by all the superchargers available for small engines these days, because parasitic loss to a supercharger at low RPMs seriously robs power. I'm kind of new to small engines though, so I may be missing something.

A lot of people think turbos would be nice to have but I doubt many will get up and drop 4 grand on a kit. Just have to sit and wait I guess if you're really into getting one.

If you want a custom kit, you can order the parts and build one. You just need to find a damn good mechanic and spend 120+ Hours working on it (Time HKS Spent on Dazz TSX)

i think the cybernation kit will cost a bit more than comptech's sc since they're including the Guardian with it, not to mention that they can market on the point that the turbo setup should produce much better numbers. Lastly, I think the rsx kits have been going for about $4000 w/o Guardian.

Wouldn't it also be a more involved install than a supercharger? Looking at the Comptech photos, it doesn't seem very hard to bolt in their SC, and the intake plumbing is largely similar in layout. Plus, the SC doesn't even touch the exhaust.
