As Matticus and I were playing hop-scotch one day @ his house...he told me that this was quite necessary to start my turbo build for the K20.

Yes! It's the plug to my girlfriend's blow dryer! Matticus told me to wire this into my car somehow and make sure it blew into the intake manifold. He said to make sure it was on cool settings and on hi...then one day we'll put it on the butt-dyno hoping to put 350 whp down before Hot August Nights!...

Remember, kseries are no good past 400whp on log manifolds :mynameisben:

If you are running a sc34 on 17psi and a log manifold it needs to be FULLY TUNED TO REDLINE. Also make sure boost cut is damn near what your boost is set at and not 3psi above what you are "tuned" at. RESISTOR style plugs need to be used. We already know your cam angles are going to be spot on because the person that is tuning your car isn't going to deceive you into thinking the cam angles don't matter. Also, when you tell the tuner you plan to daily drive the car, you want a reliable tune and don't care what it makes, I'm sure he will take that into consideration as to where the boost needs to be set.

BTW - if I throw the revhard kit back on, we can get our cars tuned together. :thumbsup:

Yea, Mark is starting a really cool budget built turbo kit on his rsx. Pretty much the same kit I had on my car but, with a larger turbo.
