What I don't get is the cost of tuning and dyno.
If it's being tuned, it has to go on the dyno.
Commendable if they can charge twice for it.
Looks like full service has finally entered the Honda market.
Hope it comes with a car wash

Hmm, the pricing isn't too rediculous, but still a bit much.
$2200 for AEM EMS with Built-In Uego, AEM 3.5 Bar Map Sensor, AEM High Flow Fuel Pressure Regulator, and AEM Air Temperature Sensor (useless)
$400 for RC Engineering 650cc Injectors
$102 for ASP 3.25" Pulley
$500 for Local Tuning
$3102 total bill. All installation I did in my garage with help of a friend. PS - those prices are shipped to my door.
I don't understand that "Installation of Fuel Pump" line though, since the Comptech Unit itself comes with a Walboro 255lph Fuel Pump,

That's more like ~$1750 AFAIK.
- AEM EMS 1052 with Built-In Uego : $1827
- AEM High Flow Fuel Pressure Regulator : $165
- AEM 3.5 Bar Map Sensor : $140
- AEM Air Inlet Temperature Sensor : $50
Thats totals $2182 from Horsepowerfreaks.com without shipping.
Again, this pricing is just retail asking price - nothing negotiated.

Injectors also need the different clippies. Add another $25? You should add a boost gauge so as to get a better idea when you might need to tighten the belt.
Also, I did not read the SoS link, but I'll guess that by "more reliable" they mean they can tune the thing to not run lean. Just a guess. Although I put down 370 rwhp on a very muggy July afternoon, turbo defintely beats supercharger. AusS2000 is correct.

ANd as i see it no boost at lower Rpm Better...It works just like Stock.
Seriously, have you ever heard someone describe the S as having "no torque"? With the SC you have "no torque" "just like stock".
With the turbo I have torque throughout the rev range. How much boost I have and hence power is dependent on my right foot. With the turbo I drive in a higher gear and with less throttle around town and the car is much more drivable.
