Apexi Dont try to compare the cost of my mods to yours. My car came from the factory turbocharged. If you were to turbocharge your car Im sure it would be as fast as mine. The problem is you have to buy a Turbo/wastegate Exh. Manny Downpipe intercooler probably do some engine work to lower the compression if you want to be able to run any significant amount of boost and plumb up the intake and oil feed/return. Thats a lot of $$$ that was included in the price of my car. The AWD helps a lot but dont be fooled into believing that it is EASY to get a perfect launch in an AWD. It IS easy to launch better than a FWD but it takes practice to really get low 60 times. Recently I have been able to pull consistent 1.72-1.74 60 foots but dont be discouraged. With an upgraded Diff and some slicks you should be able to pull mid 1.8s. The down fall on my car is the weight. people are under the misconception that because my car is a 4 cyl it is light. ITS NOT. My car weighs 3375 lbs with me in it. In perspective My buddies 97 Civic weighs 2600 with him in it.

Good luck with whatever you do to the Acura. Its a nice car and will SURELY outhandle my car.
