need spooling help ....

alright I think I finnally decided to go turbo with just retainers and springs along with cam gear. not really 100% sure on which air/flow gizmo to get but , I do know that I want it to kick in at about 4000rpm or so , what set up am I looking at 01 ex (si here in toronto dont know why)
it will be a daily driver I figured to get the retainer kit so I can utilize as much of the boost through high rpms as possible so I was thinking maybe t25 , but I wanna get atleast typer speed which is 180hp if Im not mistaken?
I have used the search option and only read a person spooling up at 4500+ rpms .......01 civic insurance 130$ a month. rsx type s 510$ amonth I would like very much so to creep under the FU$%&NG governments radar,

well from that, I dont think anyone has a clue what the heck you're asking.
air/flow gizmo? You mean a turbo?
Plenty of them spool before 4500, if it takes that long, the turbo is too big.
Anyways, if I can figure out what you're asking, and thats it, there's a huge thread on top of the FI forum that spells out peoples setups.

If you're trying to stay under the government's radar then you should research whether or not your turbo'd car will pass Ontario's emissions tests. Not trying to discourage you but just want to make sure you've considered the legal aspects of boosting in our lovely province.

BM1, I'm guessing he's talking about an air-fuel gauge.

I highly suggest reading the turbo FAQ at the top of the Forced Induction section, there is a ton of info there that should answer your questions and help you decide which engine/fuel management system to go with, along with choosing a turbo and deciding how far to go with engine internal work. Sounds like you're just getting started with learning about boost so reading that will save you many painful hours of searching and asking questions that may get you flamed.
