Yeah it was and definitely is but there isn't anything wrong with supercharging either. For my next boost setup on the fg1 ill probably run a supercharger.

Yeah dude but vit doesnt think the tvs s/c is worth it hes trying to convince me to go turbo lol witch i might lol we will see
Edit: turbo would be a cheeper doller per performance. And when i get a 8th gen si ill kraftwerks s/c it and ill have the best of both worlds :thumbsup:

Lol figures turbo will always more power than a supercharger. Usually superchargers are just safer than turbos. Honestly I think vice versa t/c ur 8th & s/c ur 9th. Anyone that has went turbo @ 1 point will usually tell u to go turbo. I say just go with what u want, but I still believe to this day boosting a 9th is dangerous especially a turbo. I know of 2 that has and no problems yet but still. Boost without BBG is crazy IMO.

The 9ths love boost just as much as the 8th do, so iv been told. I don't no witch route I wanna go with now, vit told me if I wanna go s/c I should go with the ct-e but it doesn't have the power I want. Ahh desisions desisions
EDIT: I'd like to be unique amoung the imports and sport compacts all of them have turbos now an days and I kinda wanna be diffrent than the rest. I wish there was morE info on the tvs kit like does it include injectors what pulley size how much boost ect..

I know 9ths love boost but is scary on the transmission since it will be full boost on each gear without bbg. I understand being unique part, greatest part of having a rear jdm conversion I haven't seen any around here except maybe a few at shows. But honestly I have seen way more s/c civic si than t/c cuz it's cheaper and easier to install.

Just take ur time to think it over, no impulse buys. Define best things? Could be a number of things. But six speed demon's 9th is turbocharged if u need tips.

Lol typical response from people, same thing over here. Everyone just doesn't like hondas due to other people ruining it for us. Also cuz people don't realize the full potential our cars have either. But that face will be priceless. http://racing.fimizone.com/media/turbo-8th-gen-honda-civic-si-vs-dodge-neon-srt-4-street-race
