Best psi to run to guarontee longivity h22a
Okay, before I go further, here's my setup:
General Vehicle Information:

Make: Honda
Model: Prelude
Trim: VTEC
Bodystyle: Coupe (2Door)
Color: Black
Int. Color: Black
Mileage: 40k motor, 197k chassis
Engine: 2.2L DOHC VTEC (H22a)
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
Modifications:
Exterior:

5% Tint
Interior:

Skunk 2 Shifter ****
In-Car Electronics:

Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller
Pioneer Head Unit
Greddy Black Turbo Timer
Chipped P28 W/ Datalogging
AEM Wideband A/F Gauge
Wheels/Tires:
Stock SI Blades
Suspension:
Skunk 2 Springs (2.5" Drop)
Aluminum Strut Bar
Lower Rear Tie Bar
Rear Strut Bar
Brakes:

Engine: (Here's the fun part!)
Skunk2 Racing Intake Manifold

Now, with that setup, and an actual Dyno tune by a professional, that PSI should I shoot for to almost guarontee not blowing up after a month? Im thinking 3-4 psi. Correct?

i dont know much about turbos, but i know that stock h22s are good for 6-7 psi with a good tune. You can probably set a higher psi if you have a really great tune. Good luck man

I would get a plx wideband instead. You can swap it out for the stock sensor wire it to directly integrate with hondata. So you only have one 02 sensor. You can run 8psi and possibly 10psi depending on who tunes the car. I would go with hondata s300 or Neptune.

You can integrate the AEM wideband into hondata as well. I prefer the PLX though over the AEM UEGO.
As far as psi, it is irrelevant to logetivity. It's all in the tune and the current health of your engine today. You can boost 7-8psi all day long properly tuned...
I'm guessing you are either running chrome or uberdata?
