The one way valve goes on the line leading to the brake booster. It is a check valve that doesnt alow boost pressure the enter the booster.

If I don't purchase either of the options Greddy offers and I decide to go with Emanage, a harness, and larger injectors, is an injector harness necessary? I only ask becasue it comes with both options and I don't want to be missing something that I need to get this thing off the ground.

the base rsx engine does not have a counterbalance, weaker rods/pistons, i wouldnt be surprised if they're weaker than the tc's.. it depends on thew size of the turbo and how good its tuned. with greddy's 18g, 15psi wont harm with good tuning. too bad i dont have a turbo'd tc to break the ice. but yes, u'll might want to upgrade valves if u want to stay at that level.

i run 12psi daily on my base auto rsx. spikes to 16psi, for almost a year now. many told me "oh it'll blow on stock motor". u wont know until someone knowledgeable tests its limits
Are you paraphrasing what i said or what???? LoL if you read what i said, you'll see that i also said that hondas don't have counterbalances. However I can tell you already from taking apart an RSX motor that the rods and pistons are significantly better than ours As sad as that is, so I think you'll be alright on your RSX for now, buddy of mine is runnin a turbo on his type S at 12psi for like a year now, so i think you and him are ok. I would have gladly donated an engine for testing but it already blew up

and as far as injectors ZPI sells plug n play injectors no jerry rigging here, and they're only $350

(not to get into who's brand is better or anything but sorry, the less splicing the better for me. IMO splicing in a car is NEVER a good idea, especially when it can be avoided)

That harness is just a jumper harness (so you can splice into it, and not into the factory one) not pnp ;) Dezod sells the pnp emanage harnesses.

No, he's talking about the new ZPI injectors that are "drop in" injectors, no harness or clips. They're modified stock injectors to be 550cc.

Here's a post from ZPI

For some stupid reason I thought he was talking about the harness for the ecu they sell. I did see the injectors from zpi, he is correct.

Hi! I bought the Greddy turbo. I havent installed it yet. Im putting my S-tein springs and Greddy exhaust on Saturday. Im waiting to install the turbo till I have a friend come from LA to tune and Dyno it. He actually works for Greddy - so Im hopeing to avoid all the hastle Im reading u guys go thru. Is there any thing I should know prior to installing the Kit?
I have the BOV and BOV exchange and Greddy Emanage.
Is there anything else im missing?
How long did it take those of you who installed it your self?
Was it simple or a pain in the ___.
Any suggestions would help! Thanks -V-

It should only take a day, or two at the most. I personally think the install was a breeze. Everything fits great, so there is no custom work needed ;)
