installing turbo, with no fuel or tuning
I am installing my turbo next week. I don't have big injectors or hondata yet. I am planning of getting that at the end of the month. I can put the turbo on but just take the wastegate spring out right? wouldn't the turbo still see a little boost? Is a little boost ok?

dont listen to this guy!!!! you dont want to boost at all, not to mention the fact that your map will throw a code if you do.

Re: (b16ahybrid)
here is an idea, if instead of taking the spring out, i just just hook the vaccum hose to the top of the WG and it should stay open the whole time, and leave the side vaccum port open.

Re: installing turbo, with no fuel or tuning (doubler)
If the turbo kit you are running comes with an FMU and missing link map sensor/check valves then 5-7 psi on stock timing and ecu should be fine. Don't get boost happy though until it is properly tuned. Which motor is this on again?
I have boosted 3 prelude's, 2 civic Si's, 1 SOHC civic, 1 GSR, and 1 b18c5 with no problems using a FMU and check valves untuned with stock ecu and timing. Keep in mind all the motors were stock boosting 5-7psi and not one of them blew. I do agree that tuning is very necessary but some of you act like if you push 1psi on a motor with a simple turbo kit that you are going to blow the motor to smitherines.

Re: (MiraiZ)
i have my gm 3 bar installed but not hooked up. I heard you can't hook it up because the stock ecu can't read the voltage on it. So i still have to wait for hondata for that. I don't have missing link or fmu. The things is i am pulling the WG spring out so there is no boost or should be little boost. I really don't think it would hurt to get 3 or even 4 psi and plus i am only reving it below 3500 untill i get my hondata. I think i am going to order that tonight.

just watch you foot, you can drive around not boosting, its really easy, just watch the boost gauge.

Yup, I drove 3+ hours to Canada with my turbo kit on running stock injectors on the stock ECU with no tuning of any kind - Just stay in vacuum!!!
