^^^^ Many people on ClubRSX have the V2.
As I said its just a slightly better SRI. Get a CAI. A lot of RSX V2 owners switched to a CAI because the V2 was a waste and suffered massive heat soak like the SRI.
Manufacturer dynos are always inflated. And like I said earlier, for other cars the V2 might be good, but it is not for the RSX because it is a SRI in the RSX and a CAI in every other car.

with a turbo you can turn the boost up anytime, if your engine is built for it. with a s/c you're pretty much stuck with the boost level depending on the size of the pulley.

Ever driven a S/C car, especially a tune, mildly built one? When it whines... its loud... there is no hiding that...
