Introduction

In this installation guide we have provided step by step instructions to remove the OEM turbocharger and install the 27WON Performance Turbocharger.

Advisory:

  • Working under the vehicle requires a safe and sturdy location for the vehicle to sit on jackstands.
  • The exhaust piping, turbocharger, and cooling system will be hot after recent vehicle operation. Allow the vehicle to cool or use a fan to cool the exhaust components before working on the vehicle.

    • To get the best performance from your W1 Turbo, we highly recommend a custom tune.

    • A custom tune for your specific vehicle with your specific modifications will provide the best performance for your Civic and the location you live in

    • Please see the next step for expectations for driving a performance turbo equipped vehicle

    • An upgraded clutch is required for peak performance use of the W1 turbocharger

  90. A vehicle equipped with a larger performance turbocharger may require a change in the way it is driven.  A properly tuned vehicle with a larger turbocharger definitely will
    • A vehicle equipped with a larger performance turbocharger may require a change in the way it is driven. A properly tuned vehicle with a larger turbocharger definitely will

    • A properly tuned vehicle with a larger turbocharger will experience peak torque later in the RPM range. This may make the vehicle feel more sluggish in the the lower RPM range, approximately sub 3000rpm. However, peak power will also move higher in the RPM range and carry to redline

    • We recommend shifting at a higher RPM (~300rpm higher) to combat this feeling

    • A larger performance turbocharger will also create more pronounced turbo induction noises, your gas mileage may drop significantly for the first few tanks from you constantly wanting to hear the turbo spool

  91. This completes the installation of your 27WON W1 Performance Drop-In Turbo Kit
    • This completes the installation of your 27WON W1 Performance Drop-In Turbo Kit
