yep it does as tramroad already knows, but you will need a new diff after :lol: now less talk of vtec in reverse before someone else gives it ago and blows there diff. many years ago my brother had a metro turbo, he had the same thought (does the turbo come on in reverse) and tried, at the time we didnt know much about diffs and yes that too had problems after, though we didnt associate the two at the time, but in hindsight :lol:
