Probably a condenser XD they are common on 16-17 civics and were revised for 18-19. I've done at least 4 at my shop

VEHICLE: 2017 Si coupe

Total tuned time: 18 months

Total tuned mileage: at least 25k+

Tuning device(s) used: Ktuner v1.2

Tunes used: currently and in the past Vit’s stage 1 20k+ miles; TSP stage 1 for less than 5k miles;

Fuel used: Exxon 93 85% of the time and the rest is Costco/random gas stations.

Additional engine mods: PRL CAI

Problems/issues:
clutch slipped once a little bit at around 13k odo miles. It never ever slipped again :dunno:

Driving style: a lot of high speed cruising on a highway; occasional pulls in 3rd and 4th after 4k rpm to redline @ 24.xx psi; wot 2nd gear pulls from 2.5k rpm to 6k rpm

Edit: I feel like this is important to mention that this Si did about 500 miles on US-15 north in the mountains around Taioga @90-120 mph in 5/6th gear. And also went wot from 60mph to 158 mph once. I think it had to be a lot of stress for a car like that, but it did it like a champ. That was 20k miles ago when it just got tuned.

OK, so I did a rough count of the total tuned miles reported so far...

Around 1,350,000 miles of mostly reliable (and fun) driving. :drive:

Let's keep building this database up.
