should I point out that that kit costs the better part of 9000$ ? granted it's with installation fee included, but 9000$??? No intercooler???

Google Translate does an alright job:

Translated version of http://www.phoenixs.co.jp/bigsite/sw20_na/sw20_na.htm

by the way, some of the car-nuts I have spoken to seem to be convinced that because we have a MAF that it's pretty safe to run boosted on OEM ECU, without the need of a piggyback fueler......I have no idea what the logic is behind that but it seems to be the recurring argument that the ECU will keep adjusting for air-density (or air-mass/volume) & air-temperature thru the MAF, past normal atmosphere pressure....I wonder if it's just like running the 5SFE on the stock MAP, and how it stays "safe" (read: not go into limp-mode) below 8psi.

Any suggestions/comments from you geeks?
