first thing id do is check the spark plugs and make sure their not iridium. you dont wanna be making to much heat when boosting

A cooler burning NGK, like a BKR7E or a BCPR7ES. There good for up to 450 whp, so they'd be perfect in your application

Does it have a turbo timer on it? If not, I'd look into getting one of those to help maintain your turbo and keep the inside from gumming up.

Re: noob to turbo got some question to maintain (SDHonda153)
yea it was in the trade
came with a blitz turbo timer with other functions
looked into it and found the drag manifold isn't really the best for boost and flow
not sure if any one out there has had problems with drag manifolds seems like the setup i have was pieced together. car runs great and saves gas haven't taken apart the turbo to see if there is any play with the blades.
