Impressive so far, but what about:

- price?
- fuel management?
- blow-off valve?
- looks like it comes with an oil cooler as well?

The BOV is genuine HKS SQV3 which is one of most common BOVs.
ATF & oil coolers are included in photos. FYI,they are Setrab coolers.
As for price and fuel management, please stay tuned.

I'm not one for boost, but this looks like a nice little kit. How long will the AT tranny hold up with .8 bar and possibly 1 bar of boost on a consistent basis? I know the CVT tranny here and other parts of the world would be toast pretty quick as the clutch packs just can't take that abuse. The tranny cooler should help overall, but not sure how strong the Honda AT is, I know they have made improvements over the years, but their older ATs were not world class and would start slipping over time even with engine in stock config.

price please?!

this looks like something ive been waiting for since i got my fit. KW is giving the GEs the shaft for their kits and the rotrex kit from japan is not cost effective so this kit looks very appealing.

keep us posted with any and all updates please.

BOV can also be placed before MAF sensor in the engine bay.
We like to keep the turbo system in low profile, so we place the BOV in the location shown in photo.
