i'm not trying to sway anyone here, he just asked for the facts, i helped him out the best i could.

I see what youre saying man, but Im sorry...those arent the facts, which is why I was clarifying them. You dont just bolt-on 4sec in the 1/4 and 150whp to an Integra. Its not that simple. And like I said, in my opinion, its just not worth it to turbo a 2.5RS. In NA form, the Scooby is pretty much just a fun AWD car...not a straight line threat to anyone. With a turbo kit, its still not comprable to a GSR with the same amount of work/time/cash put into it, thats all.
I just wouldnt consider the RS...there is too much available elsewhere that is better in terms of both drivetrain and performance.
