Yeah, I know. It is the old turbo vs supercharger question. But I really concerned about turbo lag. Now before I get flamed, I am not a turbo hater. On the contrary, turbos are the king regarding mid to top end performance. From what I understand (I could be waaaay off base), turbo lag is still present in the lower RPMs even with smaller turbos. Now I know that the JRSC isn't perfect in that regard either, but I would think that it would be pretty hard to notice. Remember I want more power lower in the RPM range. Also, I am not looking forword to having to tap into my oil pan for the turbo. The idea of a sealed low maintenance roots supercharger is really appealing.

The no intercooler option does have me a little annoyed, however. I suppose I could go with the liquid injection with the JRSC, but I don't know that almost seems like a gimick. I haven't really looked into the liquid injection option, though. I was hoping that the combination of the hondata ECU which I believe can vary the ignition timing on the fly coupled with the larger injectors would keep detonation under control. But here in Colorado, the 91 octane poor excuse for gas did have me really concerned. Perhaps an intercooled turbo is a better option.

I really wanted to go with a kit that includes a reprogrammed ECU (preferably hondata). Are there any turbo kits that have reprogrammed hondata ECU (or other ECU)? I really don't want to go with any piggy back systems unless absolutely necessary. Maybe I should just leave the engine stock. Decisions, decisions. Thanks for the heads up Jan.
