Once the piping has been removed get your hammer out and beat the shit out of anything made by cybernation.
Step 2:
Replace all factory parts. Retune ECU.
Step 3:
Sell "slightly" damaged Cybernoyance Kite on EBAY for 3000$
Step 4:
Begin building the internals
Step 5:
Buy a supercharger and have some fun from a stop.
Just my .02 LOL. No offense, im just a supercharger type person. I hate maintnance. Actually, if he has hondata, plug your laptop in and tweak the maps or base settings. Then change you Map sensor to a 3bar, you should have no problem after that. Good Luck.
What is your suggestion? Buy a JRSC? That is the crappiest advice I would ever give someone. He has a turbo, he is going to keep the turbo, and there is nothing you can say about superchargers to make him switch over. Superchargers on 4 cylinder cars suck. Our choices are the garbage things made by Jackson Racing or a less-than-stellar kit from Vortech. And even if he did put a supercharger on, he would still see a CEL because the ECU is still seeing boost. A new map sensor wouldn't help either. There are 2 cheap options off the top of my head: check valve or a piggy back unit that intercepts and alters the MAP signal.
