Default HKS type-s turbo kit

Has anyone installed one and/or had experience driving one. Turbo Magazine's reviewers came up with some pretty impressive numbers, I don't have it with me but I think it was a 3 run average of 347/288. The main reason I'm asking this is because I'm concerned with traction control and how much of an issue it would be at these power levels. Thanks.

Thats the root of my question. I might start a type-s project but want to know if there is a "glass ceiling" that applies to the amount of power you can produce before the FF configuration's traction limit starts to serieously get in the way of the car still being decent enough to drive while not trying to peel out from every stop. If anyone wants to input, I would also plan on upgraded suspension and/or traction bars to help with the problem.

Tires, suspension and motor mounts/engine torque damper will all help reduce wheel spin. Most stock rsx's have a problem with wheel hop/spin.
