Hey Guys,

I currently own a 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo. I love this car, but becasue it is kinda old and has about 140K miles, i decided to look into other cars. Immediately i was drawn back to Honda/Acura. (I also own a 95 Accord with 250K miles) Right now i'm saving up for the down payment, then between the spring and summer of 2006 i plan to sell the volvo and get the RSX.

I dont do well with stick so, i practice on my friend's prelude. My friend is the one who test drove the rsx for me, and man was i impressed. As soon as we pulled off the lot he redlined it and chirped into 2nd gear. The car is so smooth and handles great. By now i must be boring you, so i will get to the point.

My volvo is turbo, and i just dont want to go back to a NA car. I know that the volvo and rsx are somewhat similar in performance. ( Volvo- 222HP 221TQ, RSX 210HP 139TQ) After i get the rsx and break it in, i want to turbo it.

Can i boost the K20 stock? Or should i build up the internals (pistons, rods, etc.)

Not that this will happen as soon as i get the car, but i just wanted some info, and some good companies that make good turbo kits.

Thanks,

Josh
