That looks great! Does anyone know how high it sits?

Guys, I don't know about you, but I am excited about all these new setups coming out! I am saving my pennies everyday. We east coast guys need to be in contact, and figure out if we do decide to go with whatever works best for us or whatever arises in terms of superchargers or turbos, so we can figure out group buys, installs, etc. Just wanted to send out a generic post to see if anyone was thinking along the same lines and again how excited I am about the new advances! Talk to you guys soon.

With a single turbo running only 6lbs of boost, what would the milage limitation be before you'd want to rebuild the engine with new rings and seals? My NSX has 110k miles on it...

It's really not a question of if it's a turbo or a supercharger, or what psi is being run.. It really just boils down to the amount of added power that the stock engine can take (given its condition).
"Only 6psi" could turn out to make too much power on one (efficient, intercooled) setup, or could be not nearly as much power on a less-efficient setup (especially if it lacks an intercooler).
I know this doesn't directly answer your question... But if there's someone who has a high-mileage engine that's running an SC setup, I thought I'd point out that it would probably be a good datapoint for you even though they might not have a turbo or necessarily be at 6psi. It's the power they're churning out that counts.

... I could be wrong, but it appears that this kit has been designed with track use in mind so that the higher hp potential of a larger, single turbo wins over a smaller twin turbo setup.

I don't think the 5K installed setup includes an intercooler.
