Well Hondas usually run 80-90psi when cold, 10-15psi warm idle, and ~60psi after 3k rpm warm. A .060" restrictor usually is enough, as I've heard from Garrett reps that 30psi is about as much as you should feed a journal bearing Garrett, and a bit less for a baller-bearing turbo.

Just watch out, people love to sprout their 'knowledge' about wether or not a baller-bearing Garrett has a built-in restrictor or not. The threads tend to devulge into flame-fests with nobody the wiser in the end.

BTW is that like a 1.8L v-dub?
