W/ the base turbo kit? I wouldn't think that you could run more than 12 psi @ most (being cautious maybe but my car is a daily driver too) I will let you know though, just got my boost controller from UPS last night

This was posted too w/ consultation from a fellow Honda enthusiast and someone who works there as a mechanic too, "good strong engine on those cars" was his comment

I am only going to run 7psi daily and then try to slowly increase, I am also waiting to see when our cam comes out- do not want to have a regrind. That would @ least start me out w/ some internals to work with. What does anyone else w/ the turbo think?

I rule!
j/k

I would have made more, but my head gasket was leaking, and my car was overheating. I overheated the engine on the way to that dyno run (radiator fans wouldnt come on). 120 miles, up hill, with no place to pull over. Then i ran it on the dyno. The car was running bad because the headgasket leaked at 4 psi.

Still pretty impressive number tho.
