i drive an 05 civic lx and i have a T25 turbo at home for it and planning on putting it in in the summer, whats the most psi you think i can put on it w/ out it destryoing my engine ?

Vantage

8-9 is probably max id go. Maybe 10 if u spend a good deal tuning it.

I am planning on running mine at 5.8 (.4bar spring) I figure people run these engines at 7-8 stock without alot of issues so 5.8 should make a good daily drive without a constant worry and still be hella fun to play with

okay ill prpably try the 5.8. but lets say i dont have mone for a boost contoller yet and i install the turbo, what psi would it be at ? and how would i know ?

if you are not using a bost controler the your pressure is determined by the spring that you are using in your wastegate 5.8 psi = .4bar spring
