Rep Power: 584 turbo is great......... i'll never go n/a again
i am having problems with boost spikes, i am set at 8-9 psi, but i have hit 12-13 psi many times. There were times when i would reach 12psi at 3500 rpms........i had to ease the throttle so i wasn't boosting that much.

Check to make sure yoru wastegate settings are proper....or for that matter that it is even functioning. What kinda gate are you running anyway? Are you running an EBC?

Rep Power: 312 higher octane gas allows you to run either:
1. more compression
2. more boost
why?
The higher octane rating on the gas resists pre-mature detonation during compression. That is good for many reasons.
But on a stock civic, its just a waste of money because 87 octane won't prematurely detonate during compression.

Rep Power: 560 when it is spiking is it making this whooooshing noise, mine was spiking, at one point, and its all in the TUNING, AS USUAL, DONT run the high octane gas unless u need to, 8-9psi, sunoco 94 is just fine.....at the rate gas prices are rising, 5 bucks a gallon wont seem to much
