Turbo TSX pulling 800 hp?

looking at the other forums at TSXCLub.com someone was talking about a turbo'd tsx from south florida and i was wondering if anyone knew anything about this? i'm from south florida and the only person that i know told me it was possible to turbo, but i don't remember anything about the emanagement. he works at ultimate performance ( if anyone is familiar with this place)and has a 600+ hatch, cool guy.

There are several engine management systems that will work with the K24 for race applications. 800hp would be insane for a 2.4L. You'd probably need something like the Garrett GT42R to move enough air to support that kind of power.

Forget brakes... If you have an 800hp TSX, chances are there's a parachute on the back because it's only going to be used for drag racing.

Doesn't anybody else see an 800hp TSX as completely pointless...

If it is a drag car (thinking NOPI events or similar), the only thing TSX on it, is the badge...
