It costs about 65-70 bucks. You can get it from ben@importparts.com He gives Honda-tech members 10% off.

you can buy a missing link from importparts.com for like $75 i think. If you car sensors boost the check engine light will come on and the car goes into limp mode. Its doesnt run so hot like that.

You might wanna get more opinions before you buy it. There are a ton of guys here that know a lot. I'm still new to the turbo thing.

You'll have to prevent the MAP sensor from seeing boost one way or another, wether it be electrnocally via a standalone or a J&S safeguard, or mechanicaly via a Missing Link. If the MAP sees any positive boost, it will freak and throw a CEL and your car will run horribly (it's happend to me at least twice), so do yourself a favor, spend the $65 and get a Missing Link or $5 on some check valves from a petshop, whatever it takes to prevent the MAP from seeing boost.

Re: Computer (VTC_CiViC)
I have a missing link here that I haven't put in yet, but I think I'm going to use it. Check valves work too, but if you do long burnouts at the track (on and off the gas repeatedly), the map sensor will see boost and still trip code 3. If you get check valves, get the nicer ones (the ones at car parts stores in the "help" section).
