I am currently running the turbonetics kit and am very pleased. Just got all the kinks worked out yesterday and am taking it to get a pro tune tommorow with Hondata. Makes good power anyway, but you don't want to skimp on fuel management (if there's anything I've learned from bieng on this bored it's that) I say if you can find a turbonetics kit at a good price, jump on it.

Actually, my only complaints with the kit are the intercooler piping, and the way the air filter hooks up. I don't like the way the intercooler pipes fits, and would like a hardpipe for theh air filter instead of just the hose I'm going to have some custom made later on when I have more cash.
