Good point I forgot about Honda TEch, I will check there to see what I can find. I mean I am already tuned, I am just really wary about doing any engine work beyond bolting up my exhaust.

I guess your not comfortable doing it yourself?. They supply pretty detailed instructions from what I hear.

The install for blower is easy man don't worry about that. The real question is do you want to spend the 4k+ for a blower or save it for a downpayment on the turbo Si or other car. Cause it will suck parting out the car at that point with the blower and all supporting mod. Might aswell just keep the car at that point.

You install yourself? IF so what was the hardest part
I'll answer, hardest part for me was the belt. Definitely requires 2 people and some patience

Looks like a fun project.
I plan on a turbo eventually and my friend asked who I was going to have install it. I just laughed and said "me." He looked at me like I was crazy. I am game for figuring out how to do any car work that doesn't require pulling an engine.

That's awsome. Good luck to you! I did a turbo install on my b16 teggy. Wasn't too bad but I would imagine this car is worst. I have a friend here with a 2013 coupe Si and he currently just picked up his prl intercooler and will be installing the turbo soon soo I really want this blower to get here to show him who will be the fastest 9th gen here lol.

He might be faster than you. It also depends what turbo he will have and how much boost.

Which turbo he's going to get it? I hope it's garrett
it's all pretty easy, the directions ct provides are pretty good. Getting the belt tension set right is a pain, had a bunch of issues with that till I had a 2nd person around. I took my time and still had it done over the weekend, even with being a single parent(constant distractions)
