I'd like a comparison against 27won and the PRL kits...
Then I'll decide...
In terms of making power it won’t be close. It’s rated to make around 300hp maxed out on fuel for our cars

As @LilToTo17 said, this is probably the best way to go for "smaller" gains with OEM reliability. It wont match W1 or PRL in terms of power. To me this looks like an excellent choice, either for Si or non-Si owners.

The oil lines, bolts etc, are easy to source? Would OEM fit? Bolts arent difficult but what about the rest of the necessary hardware?

if it wasn’t $1,900 I’d think about it.
the W1 is more enticing to me atm with its price.

It's meant to last a while since some people have been having issues with the W1 where they would make a right turn and boost and see blue smoke meaning their burning oil through the turbo oil seal. I myself have a W1 and have not experienced this yet.

I think this is the Turbo honda was using at first on the 1.5T engines .Because they first mentioned the turbo being a TD03.
Maybe MHI now got the go ahead from honda to still release this turbo .

It’s actually not. They made the mistake of saying it was a TD03 to begin with. They are using larger billet wheels for this upgrade

If this thing wasn’t so dam expensive I would of gotten no doubt! 700$ more you can get a big turbo kit. I would love to see the power curve with this turbo. Pretty awesome

Understandable. I'd say this is perfect for those who don't wanna have to build a motor. As most people with prl big either tune super conservative or have a built motor.

I agree but, honestly a big turbo kit is even more better for the stock block, it’s not harsh like the small turbos it takes time to spool and requires less boost to make power

It's not losing power (but gained) on the lowend and it's making power up top. From point A to point B, it'll give a 27Won (and even PRL turbo) a run for their money (On street tires).

Yeah your right on torque coming in a lot later but what's the point in having a big turbo if you aren't going to push it a little over low boost.

That's not entirely true lol. Like DRob said it maxes out close to 300 hp flex fuel and all based on the size of the compressor and turbine wheel. I am guessing with this turbo it'll spool up similar to stock so DRob or some other tuner will have to try to make the torque shift a little later if possible for the rods sake. Not to mention that is is just a little bit larger in wheels over stock but smaller than W1. Also W1 and this turbo don't even come close to that of prl big.
