Archull's 06' Acura RSX Type-S turbo build

[archull]

Well, first off, some of you guys may know me. This is the second turbo setup that I have acquired. The first one was just a modified Revhard setup and I was not satisfied with it so I contacted Ken @ Peakboost and had them build a kit for the RSX. I in turn received the first ever production kit for the RSX.
I waited awhile to install the kit because I decided to go a bit more extreme than I originally planned to. So now over a year later and over $12k lighter the build is done. I do have more tuning and a few things that I have to change out but that is the easy part.

Now to what I actually have done:

Peakboost Turbo kit
Here is a breakdown of the kit:
T3/44 Sidemount stainless steel Turbo Manifold (Coated by HPC)
44mm Dumptube (Coated by HPC)
3" Stainless 2 pc downpipe w v-band (Coated by HPC)
Garrett GT3076 turbo (.82 AR, .60trim, S-cover)(Exhaust housing Coated by HPC)
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Tial 50mm Blow off valve
PWR 6" x 23.5" x 3" vertical flow intercooler core(total height is 12") (anodized black)
2.5" Aluminum chargepipe kit with PWR Silicon Couplers & t-bolt clamps (Piping powder coated black)
Steel braided oil/feed return lines
All installation hardware, gaskets, & heatwrap
K&N Intake filter


Besides these parts that came with the kit I am going to be running the following:

Hondata Kpro
GM 3bar map sensor
GM boost control solenoid
Peakboost Vac Block
Billet battery tray
Odyssey battery
Innovative Motor Mounts
CC stage 4 clutch
Oil sandwich plate adapter
hondata intake manifold gasket
Thermal 3" exhaust
NKG BKR9EIX plugs
Walbro intank pump
AEM fuel rail
Aeromotive FPR
RC 750cc injectors
-8an stainless fuel feed lines & -6an return lines all with Earls & Russel fittings
Aeromotive 10 micron inline fuel filter
RBC intake manifold
P2R RBC adapter

(in hand but waiting to install now are Quaife LSD, 4.3final drive, & TSX 6th gear as these were not in my possession until after my build was complete)

I know that I am forgetting some of the other stuff but this is what I remember off the top of my head.



Here are the picture trail of the project:

Then after I did this Ken at peakboost called me up and wanted me to run the newer style turbo manifold, down pipe and dump tube. I was about to leave for Europe for school for 6 weeks so I knew I didn't need my car for awhile so I said sure. So he made everything new for me and when I got back from Europe I had this on my door step:



If you notice, the wastegate is no longer at the top of the manifold and the down pipe had more clearance which gave a much better fit.
