PSI DOESNT MEAN **** GOD DAMN IT!!!!!
different turbos will give different volumes of air at the same PSI....
lets say you have a tiny as volvo turbo with A/R .42 on the cold side and a big *** turbo with A/R .90 on the cold side. and they are both running 10psi..... guess which one is gona blow your engine to another dimension?

If you run one FMU you're good to 10psi but to be on teh safe side you should run two FMU's and you can boost up to 15-18psi on a stock bottom end no problem. Wait.. you've got head work? K up that to 20psi but use the honda data tune like you plan and you should be fun. Just make sure that you run 10w30 oil though as you want to make sure it's going to coat your cylinder walls really well. What type of wastegate will you be running? Put in a 30psi spring just in case you decide to build the bottom end later. You should be fine for hte occasional boost spikes so don't worry about that.
If you can run one stage cooler sparkplugs too.
Show us your dynograph when you're done

THANK YOU. After correcting 7 billion people, I realized anyone who is serious enough about boost to actually do it is going to figure that out along the way.
It's amusing how many people with XXXX posts talk about boost and don't know the BARE BASICS.
---Use WHP NOT psi---
