There was a turboed 2.7 Legend Coupe in Honda Tuning several months ago. Something like 220 whp...not too shabby for a daily driver.

But the guy plunked down like 25 grand all together.

the turbo job on the guy from acura-legend.com (the 2nd gen legend) was a completely shitty job. they used the stock exhaust manifold, no engine tuning, no heat wrap, and when you rev up past 6k, the map sensor kicks in because of the positive pressure in the manifold, and the engine dies.

not worth it.

and EGlover, get some pics of the turbo legend you know of. id be interested to see how someone else did it
