Still doesn't work. I'll try again. I have one last question: Again being new to Honda products, but is your car "drive by wire"? I often wondered how having the throttle set up in this manner reacts to aftermarket forced induction. Having worked with turbochargers for many years and using the linear response of a traditional system I've often wondered how an automobile, or more specifically the drive by wire system, adapts to obvious increases in air and fuel.

No the 2nd Generation CL/TL is not a DBW system. However, Comptech will soon be releasing supercharger kits for both the TSX and 3rd Generation TL which are both DBW throttle systems.

A few things that stand out to me..
I have a twin turbocharged G35 coupe on the stock 10.3 compression ratio.
I'm making 405whp at just 9psi, with advances in forced induction on a higher compression ratio isn't as bad as it always was.
Before turbocharging I was getting roughly 16mpg with the modifications I had, now after I'm getting 19.5mpg.
Because I went with water cooled turbo's a turbo timer would be useless as the turbo's never reach the temperature where you get coking.
For me the main drawback to turbocharging is the maintenance, you really have to watch what your car does, especially if it was not built for forced induction. I get my oil changed every 2000 to 2500 miles.

the j32a2 must have been built by jesus himself, because allmotor is making >400whp with a single turbo @ 6psi.
