before you doubt me and start to wonder WTF an AV6 is in comparison to the 3G TL's

just go to this link:

-pay attention for the **J32A3 block** listed on his parts list, since you might get distracted reading the rest of that LONG ass list.

-FYI- just go to page #6 on that link to end the turbo placement and piping debate.

by the way, he was running low boost, yet put out 343+ WHP
i really dont know so ill ask - what is the most WHP any of you have ever heard of an SC'd 3G TL making , whether it be the 3.2 or a 3.5 liter ?

I think 310whp from an S/C'd 6spd TL.

it seems odd no one has done it to the J32 in a UA6 yet its sittin in an Element and now a Civic hatch too.

im sure we'll see one someday. i mean, who knows - maybe theres a guy in the RSX crowd today whos quietly jockin UA6 and he'll win the lottery tomorrow.

but thats when i think the UA6 will finally be droppin haters jaws in disbelief with some potent WHP figures. im not saying the UA6 isnt already the beast that it is being bone stock or SC'd but if honda's own r&d team did a turbo in the Element, while keeping those J32 internals - ALL BONE STOCK, to make it produce 500 WHP even with those horse power robbing driveshafts / RWD , and then to really drive it hard as we would like to but in open public view at events thus killing off any doubts about reliability? - just more of my thoughts, thats all.
