Default '07 Si, Turbocharge it?

I recently bought an '07 Si and I love it. I purchased the car when I was home from Iraq for 2 weeks. I'mback in Iraq and Iplan on buying a turbo kit from Greddy when I get back to the states. Any suggestions for any other parts that I should put on the car before the turbo? I did my research with hondadata. Should I get a reflash for the car before or after the turbo. Or no reflash?If anyone can point me in the right direction I greatly appreciate it.

i would buy a high quality kit and run the hondata k-pro, it will handle anything you can throw at it and then some.

I wouldn't turbo that...

K's are such beatiful motors NA, and they respond real well to mods. I have a friend putting 216 to the wheels with just I/H/E. Guys on HT are seeing 260 with ITBs. And seriously, you don't want a front drive car with much more power than that.

If you do turbo it, at least wait out some time, and get used to the car. The thing is gonna be a firebreathing monster even on low boost. Wheelspin like mad.

life's short. do what you want.

if you turbo it, feel good in knowing that your k20 motor is a monster of a motor when it comes to handling boost.

you can always turn the boost up with aknob or new springto get more whp, but if you want to go n/a then you have to buy more parts. i just like turbocharging better than n/a
