Default Need honest opinions.

I need to know how much boost I SHOULD run to maintain some sort of reliability on my Integra. I ran 10-11psi last fall and had no problems at all, but this year I'll be running with a full 3" turbo back exhaust (compared to the exhaust that ranged from 2" to 2.5") and possibly a JG Intake Manifold. The last thing I want to do is blow my engine up. I do not beat on my car, and VERY rarely take it all the way to 10psi...I usually stay below 4500rpms, too. I use it as my dd for the most part in the summer, but have another car to drive when the weather is bad, etc. I have a Hondata S200b and RC 440cc injectors. I'm running a T04E turbo. Thanks for any replies that can help me out!

Tyler

Nevermind...I don't think I'm going to get the intake manifold, so I'll probably just end up getting the exhaust and calling it good...retune at 9-10psi and I'll be set.

Yeah get a retune with the exhaust and I can't see any problems at all. Hell get it tuned for 12psi you will want the extra power trust me. BTW gsr or ls?

sorry...it's a gsr. I think I'll stick with 10. That's a nice even number

We cant tell you this without at least knowing the specs of the turbo.

And really, its different for every car. This is something your tuner can tell you when its all said and done.
