I know the only way to achieve it, is with boost.
low end power + torque != d15

Why aim for a 14? That's like knowing you have to get a touchdown, but being satisfied w/ a 2 yd loss. Makes no sense! Aim for 12's!!

Maybe our definition of torque is just different.

Good luck getting some low-end power from a 1.5l single cam 4-cylinder.

Ok, well then it's possible.

I will not be satisfied until my CRX has over 300tq.

You're going to spend more than $400 unless you don't mind waiting a year, just to let you know.
