Could I get away with this? (high mileage turbo question)
114K on a B18A1, new pistons installed 20K ago, new timing belt, perfect 150psi compression across all four cylinders. T3/T04 running 7psi, with TUNED HONDATA, no other precautionary measures. Possible?

who knows. The engine is scarily strong though, it makes 133 to the wheels with just a short ram intake.

No worries at all, the compression does seem low though.
I am running a 231K miles D16a6 with 7 psi daily and Zdyne ECU and I still carry over 170 psi compression. Your b18 should have higher compression numbers.
You should be fine.

i dont think they mileage number is as important as how good of shape the motor is in. If you just had new pistons in recently, I assume you had the cylinders honed, and everything was put in right. As long as that compression is a typo, then you should be good.
