There is no turbo kit made for the tsx so no matter what you will have to do some modifying to make a kit work. I think your best bet is buying a rsx kit and modify the downpipe and intercooler pipings or dont get a tsx if you dont want to do a lot of custom work. There is a dual harness being made so that the tsx can use kpro. I don't know when it will be out but the guy making it said it will be out soon and it will be under a major manufactures name. I don't know which manufacture it is either.

Not sure where you are located. But most shops in Portland and Seattle do custom TSX Turbo builds.

You have to custom make everything. I suggest you piece together a kit (which is what I plan to do) because the k20 headers don't fit ours and there is no kit made. As for fuel management there is nothing yet. But I heard the aem fuel management works but that's only what I've heard

it works but is not reliable. if you do some research you will find out that there are engine managements that do work but not as good as krpo. some guys will even yell at you to not use anything besides kpro. they say its all in the tuner but how can a tuner tune a car that wasnt meant to be tuned? the harness that is being made will allow you to kpro the TSX. just a waiting game now.

I've been running k-pro on my 04 boosted TSX, the only issue is the idle on some days. There's days it idles perfectly and other days it idles really low and stalls sometimes.

I myself got a RSX kit and modified it to fit the TSX. I purchased an extra pipping kit for the charge pipes and some 3" exhaust tube for the downpipe.

I got over 20K on the car since I boosted it (13psi) and have had no issues other than the idle.

Don't cheap out on the tune!!

heres some info on the dual harness to kpro the TSX
This dual harness will be available next week so if your interested you better pu your name on the list because I think there is gonna be a limit of harnesses made.

Man, I want a tsx so bad. I love the older gen SO much. The only thing I hated was this issue of boost and tuning. Seems to expensive
