    the problem w/ the jrsc is that on a honda it bolts directly to the intake plenum. it has great throttle response because it's a belt driven eaton/roots blower and has a great smooth power band. the problem is that the higher boost you push the less efficient it becomes. 11psi is really the max and even then you're losing efficiency. also the more and longer you run it the worse it becomes heat soaked. there is water injection or even a light nitrous you could use to intercool it, but you will have to install it post blower to get any real effect...if you do it pre blower it'll just compress and heat it up.

    personally i would recommend a smaller turbocharger or come up with a way to custom mount the blower section seperate from the intake and run piping through an fmic. jackson really limited themselves by making it a compact and simple installation...they are really best in terms of hp/lb in the 8psi range.
