pretty much the title sums it up. i used to drive an honda pilot 03 but my parents got me a new rdx. im grateful for it and all... but i don't kno ne thing about turbo except that it increases performance, usually lags, and can take away from your car's engine life. so... what is it exactly?

2.3 liter vtec + turbo! first ever for a production vehicle. i think i read somewhere that they will be discontinuing the model (or engine) because of poor gas mileage when compared to other vehicles in its class. I think they picked the wrong chassis to debut their new production turbo motor

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

Get a REAL boost gauge... then you can really see how much boost you're getting.
