Low compression ratio from the base rsx should be perfect for Turbo.

good luck on finding one. I e-mailed people at Jackson Racing, but they have no plan on developing one for the base models.

Although the people at JR are not planning to develop a supercharger for the base, there is someone who adapted the Type-S kit, for use on a base. While both methods of FI have their merits, I'd tell you that what you should get depends how you drive. The Turbo will get you a lot more top end, and a lot of power, but most of that will be peak power. The Supercharger on the otherhand, will add power more evenly across the powerband, plus it will likely have less maintenence. For a car that's as much an everyday driver as it is a racing machine, I'd say look into slapping on the supercharger. It'll make more useable power. For a car that is a dedicated project race car, maybe you should have got a type-S, but otherwise get a Turbo.

Do you have a link or contact for the base owner?

Thanks,
