I have a 2004 civic ex...with the d17a2...I have a fully custom t3/t4 turbo on it...all the work was done by myself other than the tuning..Right now I am running 6 psi with a stage 2 excedy clutch and act lightweight flywheel. If you are looking to go over 6-8 psi than you will need to start thinking about building up the bottom end as it can only handle about 10 psi max..

So if you have a daily driver like mine and you dont want to blow it up, I would keep it at 6 psi..Trust me it is a lot faster than stock..

not to sound rude but whats a JDM T3, sounds crappy to me. As far as you ?, no more than 6psi unless you build the bottom end, have machine work done to the head.

ehh, the only thing i would worry about is your IM above 10psi. in all honesty, with a good tune, youll be safe below 10psi with a stock IM.
