Attention all 2007-2008 Spec V owners. It is our time to finally receive the fruits of the aftermarket car industry. Too long has our last generation model received the love we deserve. With various aftermarket components that are almost too extensive to list. Even our beloved Nismo has turned its back on us, leaving us with nothing more the a few companies to release very few parts for our platform.
The 2002-2006 models have received various coilover and spring applications from different companies. Even more so are the amount of intakes, exhausts, headers, camshafts and other goodies for their cars. Jealously we have awaited for such parts. As a matter of fact I have now called to date almost 35 companies about various parts, testing, and even to just spark interest in our platform. Taking extensive amounts of time out of my day to help this platform grow out of a “cult-like status” and into a mainstream icon like our rival, the Civic Si.
After attending various car shows, hundreds of emails and phone calls, I have finally landed us a shot at a turbo kit, a fully bolt on ready to go turbo kit. Not just some ebay knock off, or some no named company. Turbonetics has decided to take interest in our cars as they did the same for our 2002-2006 models.
After extensive and very much enjoyable correspondence with Reggie Wynn, he has agreed that with enough interest we will have a turbo kit for our cars.
Here are the specifications of the 2004-2005, since we share a similar motor expect a similar type kit.

Everyone will know you are turbocharged because with the power you will make it will be hard to keep the tires connected to the pavement.
