So I finally landed a job at a performance shop, Its a small little shop in villa park IL. Its call Ill Garage. I was never a big Honda guy at all. Well this shop does mainly Honda's, We also do Nissan's, which is what is mainly there right now. But I can tell you this, This job is so much more fun than changing tires all day long. Any way, I never had any respect for Honda's what so ever, Until I started working here. I can tell you that driving a boosted Honda is A LOT of fun. Will I ever own one maybe some day. Well our shop car is a EK hatch, I believe he is running around 11 to 1 comp and about 35 pounds of boost. Its a twin scroll precision Turbo, last time he went to the track he was having problem with the electronic boost controller, he had it set with boost by gear, but the duty cycle is so touchy, He ended up running 45 pounds at the track, Which I have no idea how much hp is that is, Well the video that is in here is the car on our dyno, The roller is wore out so he couldn't load the car to well so it has a late spool. I can tell you though, that boosted Honda's depending, are freaking wicked, only if you can grab traction that is ..
