depends on what PSI and who installs it, stay below 10 and you should be okay.

but i hear cybernation kits are kinda shitty. I saw a type-s with a cybernation kit, who had his type-s shipped to florida just to have the kit installed. and it blows white smoke like a mother ******.

but install it right and you should have some fun with it

you'll need to get it tuned also. good engine management is a necessity for any FI motor.

Search. The phrasing, words, and language you have just used shows that you do do not understand Forced Induction at all. And if you don't understand what you say you want, then how do you know that is what you want. ClubRSX.com forums boost section has some good sticky's to help you get started.

From what it sounds like to me... turbo is probably not a good option for you. I have a Drag Kit installed and it definitely requires more maintenance. Unless you are the type of guy that likes to change your oil every 2K miles and check your plugs once a month, a turbo is not for you.

FI means forced induction... it's like force feeding your engine with air and makes it more volatile. Your engine runs harder as a result, shortening the life of the engine. You will have to have a good fuel management system to work with the added air going into the engine. Too little fuel = lean condition and you may blow. Too much fuel = rich condition which is a little safer but back fire, emissions, and dirty oil and spark plugs result. Both conditions make you lose power.

Programming the fuel maps is even more difficult due to the iVTEC but some companies already have the fuel maps figured out so go to clubrsx.com's Forced Induction section and find out more information on the best setup for you. Don't get pieces at a time and look for an complete kit assembly.

Talk to Cybernation, they are having a lot of success tuning the K's. And reliabilty is good from what I have heard, I have only heard of one RSX having engine trouble with the stage one.
