obviously you don't know anything about your car if you didn't know the engine code. & yes, there is no turbo kit out yet, but any shop will customize your motor to make a turbo manifold fit.

like 98coupeV6 said, if you got $$$ to burn, why didn't you buy the Acura CL Type-S or Nissan 350Z, let alone the Subaru WRX

why did you buy a new accord if you have that much money and want more power?

personally i'd wait till HKS or Comptech comes out with their force induction kits.. HKS had a turbo designed for the 6th gen V6's but the auto tranny couldnt hold the additional power so they should have something out on the market real soon since they only have to modify the 6th gen model to the 7gen engine layout... besides that comptech will have a super charger out real soon.. # wise they had a powerfull supercharged honda/acura just look at their av6 or cl besides both kits will be bolt on (less $$$)

if you got the money do it.
a custom setup is better than any kit.

Jesus if this fella had a 6th 5th or 4th everybody would be all happy but cause its a new car hes a moron.

Why buy those cars, if he wanted a even faster car to blow money on why not get a Porsche or a Ferrari or something

I say if you got the cash go custom and be proud to do something you want to do.

yes, because it completely voids the warranty on a car that is not only brand new, but it is built off a never before tried platform, with a brand new engine. First year models always have bugs, it is inevitable.

if you are modding your car for serious gains warranty is not an issue.
now if you are some fool who lives and dies by the dealer then you really shouldnt mod anything.
