no, you don't necessarily need a twin turbo setup...but your turbo would be pretty far downstream in th exhaust if you wanted all 6 cylinders to be pushing exhaust through the turbo...it's definitely possible...

You could do a single but the transmission would probably not hold up.

turbo is a realistic item for an accord v6, but your turbo is gonna have to custom made because no one makes a kit for it and the trannies on j-series motors like to break. Actually alot of them like to break. Good news about that is v6p.net has gotten Dr. Evil transmission to make an upgrade for the 6th gen accord v6.

WOW! your like the only one that i know of that has the GUDE package. How is it and is it worth it?

As far as turboing goes, i dont know of any turbo V6 accords but i do know of turbo CL's. Your tranny wont be able to hold the power and it'll break fast. You either have the option of the 6speed swap or the Dr. Evil tranny. Both are expensive but so is the turbo kits. The turbo kits on the CL's are like $6g+ i believe.

Would it be better to go with a super charger? It'd Definately be cheaper than a turbo for this car. Yes and no, a bunch of the trannies that came from the factory are crap while a bunch of them show no signs of breaking. I've seen supercharged accords with their stock trannies so it really depends what u got from the factory. Maybe you got a good one from the factory. As for the pullies, you might wanna swing comptech a call about them.

you may know this already, but with the unorthodox pulley's your boost would be increased by like 3 extra psi with a supercharger, but it still should work.

You already have every possible mod for the Accord and probably have dropped $7000 into the engine. I'm sure $70 won't break you to see what gains you've acheived NA.

Many also call Gude a waste of money and that their package is crap. Prove them wrong by posting a dyno so people know that it's worth it. 200+ whp on a 6th gen Accord NA is good stuf.
