I have to disagree with that. With my kit, there is no downfall to not relocating anything. Same with the SOS turbo kit.

Check out the PRL kit. No need to move battery or the fuse box. comes with everything you will need. Just go on prlmotorsports.com

With more power comes more heat, even if you can retain the heat shielding, the ambient temperatures under the hood will still be elevated over stock. Like I said before, it may not be immediate, but eventually you will run into problems with premature failure of the battery and/or fuse box. They were not designed to see the temperatures that most of the turbo guys are seeing. No amount of heat wrap or gold foil will help with this. You may be ok for a while (even 10-20k miles) but the heat will take a toll. Why not just move them while you have the car disassembled and save yourself the concern down the road?

The PRL seems the way to go, you may mod the stock heat shield too to help.

If you want a good exhaust under 1000 you may have to take a look on the Berk.

I understand piece of mind but I don't see the need for extra work when it's not needed. Ambient heat from a bottom mounted turbo or downpipe that exits the engine bay quickly is easily dealt with. Vented hoods, ceramic coating, wrap, and foil all do their jobs. My temps dropped dramatically once my manifold was ceramic coated. If any of this stuff didn't work, batteries and fuse boxes wouldn't be located in the engine bay in the first place. Relocating isn't completely worry free either. You can easily induce electrical issues from having to splice/extend wires.

Hey Redline, do you have any build thread of your 2005 s2k turbo?

it seems like you have a setup I am looking for, 433hp with 14psi sounds really good? was that on pump gas? Do you recommend going e-85?

Thank you.

Have you looked into Kings Performance out in Florida. Those guys are really helpful and answer any and all questions.

You don't have to relocate things (need a smaller oddyssey battery) but other than that its a breeze to install and they stand behind their product. It has been proven to make the power you are looking for as long as you have the other components (injectors map sensors... etc)

I currently run this kit on pump gas. I am at 9psi 350whp so plenty of power to be had if you turn up the boost to 14psi.

Yes I do have a build thread. Link to it is in my signature. It is also in the build index at the top of the Forced Induction section as well as links to other ptuning builds like my own.
