I'm not very familiar with turbo kits, so if I add one to my 2005 EX V6 coupe, how much of an increase in horse power can I expect to see (approximately)?

Also, does anyone know about how much it would cost to have a shop install a turbo for me? I won't be doing it any time soon (I need to get my tints, rims, intake and exhaust first).

If you have a shop do it, it wont be very cheap because the v6's are a custom turbo setup, and if you plan on getting a turbo dont worry about upgrading your intake because the turbo will make it so you cant use the intake that you bought. As for a hp gain...... no idea.... havent seen any v6 accords with a turbo

with a 7psi kit you can expect a 50 percent hp gain.... 7 psi is half of one full mbar/ 14.7 psi.


so if you have 240 to start with, then you would end up with 360. theoretically

I think comptech makes a supercharger to the V6 accord, so maybe look into that. If you have to have the turbo custom made, that is gonna be crazy expensive.

You definitely pay for the name, but with the name comes really good quality with some nice R&D behind it. I haven't found a bad review for any comptech products I don't believe. Unfortunately though, a tad too expensive for me.
