My 2004 Acura TSX Turbo project... more pics will be updated....
started my tsx turbo last week... parts that are all over our shop floor:
- universal intercooler
- universal 2.5¨aluminium piping
- HKS SSQV BOV
- Tial 38mm wastegate
- RC 750cc injectors
- JVT K serie top mount cast manifold
- autometer boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
- Hondata dual ECU setup with harness and kpro
- full-race T04E Turbo .50 A/R Compressor, .63A/R Turbine
- 3¨ custom downpipe with v-band made by us...
- hummm some others misc parts....
ok I already installed intercooler, made my custom charge pipe, relocated my battery in the trunk, started the downpipe, made a little aluminium plate to install the gauge under the radio...
I will update pics as soon as I have something else to show...
Little teaser to start...

boost owns
w00ted - any plans for a LSD? I don't see that listed in your planned mods and as DAYTA on this forum has recently shown, that makes a huge difference in drivability of a highly powered FWD vehicle such as our TSX.

Could a replacement to the '06 bumper and have the fogs or it will still be in the way? With this turbo kit n intercooler, u might be better off getting a Mugen bumper or the Spoon one (both without fogs) but plenty of lower air cool....

Gah. A little too late. Maybe Not. Well, first off, great work on the project. The JVT cast manifold is a decently made item (I know first hand as I used to work for JVT). I know this isn't the first turbo TSX, but it's still a lot of work, and I commend you guys for that. But why the HKS SSQV BOV? Can you say flutter city?

what`s wrong with the hks bov? I had that bov on my old gt40r civic setup and liked the sound... so I kept it for this turbo kit...
