Default Maintenance on a turbo honda?

I just wanted to hear what everyones routines are for a boosted honda? I have been boosted for about a year now but I am in the final days of a major build being finished.I just am trying to get an idea of things to watch for once you turn up the boost a little? I would like to know what you guys check for and replace and at what intervals? Thanks

Spark plugs, oil, couplers, vacuum lines...

That's mainly it for me.

Man, my maintinance schedule is about the equivalent of a 2nd grader with ADHD trying to write a 3 page paper the night before class.


Oil change whenever I feel like it.....hopefully around 3k but I honestly dont keep track.....that's about it. Spark plugs if they're getting rounded. 180k on the motor boosting 9-10psi. Reused headgasket......yeah you get the point lol.

Check the oil, and do some basic bolt checks on a few bolts that seem to not like me (once a day). Check the coolant like once a week unless something happens that makes me suspect something is up. Other than that I check the spark plugs every now and then if I think about it or at every oil change (3000 miles).

Basically just oil, basic bolts check, coolant

Checking the bolts I might have to add that to my list now that I swapped manifolds and downpipe I didnt have that problem before but with the new setup you never know?
