LoL,

If you do get a block guard, install it the proper way. get it welded in place, then rebore your cylinders and redeck your block, So their will be no cylinder distortion. Lots of people pop their heads off and just pound these things in. When they really dont do ----.

you might want to contact hondata to see if that ecu will work for you or not.

I dont know what are all the levels of the drag kits, and what turbos come with each. But I am pretty sure all drag kits use t3 turbochargers, and all the manifolds are the same. Some modifcations will need to be done to the charge pipeing and downpipe. But it should be to big of a deal.
