He has a IX, which comes with the JDM MR DV already. For us, that was a great upgrade, but those stinking IXs already come with it stock. It holds up to 24-25psi...
Don't use an SAFC on a IX. There is no patch harness available, the ECU pin-outs are different, the ECU plugs are different, and there is no way to manipulate the MIVEC with the SAFC. A flash will gain about twice as much HP and way way more torque, so stick with that.
John, where are you located? We should get together so I can show you things on my car, explain a few things, help you with modding, find you the right parts, and help with installation. We also have an RMEVO.com tuning session coming up where you can get your car flashed in person in the Springs on July 8/9. That would be a great opportunity for you to make some big power gains even with no other mods.
