Have the oil changed, then have at it!!! But remember.......***Honda dosen't cover boosted cars***. Anything happens, its on you. Thats why i've waited til' my warranty weared out before i boosted.

Tuff call man the Vic is new....... Here is my advice if you have all the parts I men evrything and your gonna boost then boost with a low PSI setting and just take it easy at first..Your warranty will be obsolete once installed

3psi is a waste. turn it up to atleast 5 or 6. i wouldnt even bother for 3psi. atleast 5 or 6 is still safe and thats what the stock boost is, i believe.

i still think its a waste..3psi..then the kit can go 5 or 6psi and still be safe..your not going to do any harm if you ran 5 or 6.i got 6 psi and since its been cold i feel like i have 10 psi now..i love cold weather.

^^ He has another thread going about an issue he is having already with his turbo kit...he doesnt have an upgraded fuel system which is why hes wanting to keep it at 3 psi for right now...which is also the reason why I think hes having a problem with his turbo.
