Fitment wasn’t my concern it was more on having to change the sensor which would result in changing the housing on the stock air box. @VitViper please put this MAF subject to rest.
I understand that now. Lol there’s nothing to put to rest. I’ve been corrected, because I was confused by your words, not everyone is a wizard, should be more clear next time.
The original post was edited before he commented. Called a mistake. You confused me by saying upgrade MAF housing. You said nothing about the sensor in your first post. And now you are just ruining the thread by continuing your ignorant comments.I highly doubt my words confused you enough to say this lol
And then the other question is should there be a rod AND piston upgrade to make even more power? Still waiting for a top end kit so we can get more revs out safely.
This turbo still makes more torque below 3500 than the car does stock from the factory. Stock our Si didn't hit 200 ft lbs until like 3400 rpm... It was only 100ft lbs at 1500 rpm.
MAF housing may need an upgrade, the sensor itself doesn't lol.The original post was edited before he commented. Called a mistake. You confused me by saying upgrade MAF housing.

That would be prudent for higher power... so far nothing's broke at this power level.
Don't need to change the maf housing on the Si.
Do you think this upgrade creates enough air to even use the race MAF and have positive results from it? Or you thinking that’s proabbky something for he upcoming turbo kit?
The Si is a frequency MAF. It'll just keep on reading a higher and higher frequency as you add more air. If Honda didn't put some software cap on it.
Well this has been in the works for some time and we finally have a decent "drop in" turbo upgrade for the 1.5T! The goal was to have something quick and easy to install and pick up 10-15% power and keeping the powerband from dropping like a rock after 5000 rpm.
Mission accomplished. .................................
For the stock turbo graphs you can see I extrapolated the dyno chart with a line -- we don't dyno the car past 6500 on the stock turbo as power loss is DRASTIC up there.
How's this compare to E40 on the stock turbo?
This is going all out on the stock turbo -- as you can see we removed the huge torque spike below 3500 rpm (harder on the rods). Torque comes in smoother and power from 3700 to 5000 rpm is basically a wash -- but then the upgraded turbo continues to carry. Anywhere from 20-40whp gained and now it's got some legs!
How's this look on 92 octane? Let's compare a conservative tune first.
Plenty gained over a conservative tune.
How about a really aggressive 92 octane stock turbo tune that pushes the knock limit (which people like to do for "glory" numbers, but unrealistic to run as it gets crunchy and can help the motor. Hey we do it for fun too!)
Similar results as the eblend.
