Initial Dyno Testing for the L15 Platform
We recently took to the dyno for initial testing of our PRL 1.5T Drop In Turbo for the L15 platform. While the 10th and 11th generation Civic use different cylinder head designs, the drop in turbos themselves share the exact same specifications. Both...

We've seen countless posts from FL5 Type R owners removing their wings, only to uncover an unsightly, rough-cut opening in the plastic hatch. Finally, FL5 owners have a clean, reversible solution that lets them run a wingless look without leaving exposed holes or swapping to a different hatch...
