Unless you have a wideband, ignition harness and the eManage software, don't do it. You WILL run lean/advanced/detonate, lift your head or otherwise blow your engine. Any changes to your wastegate can put you into an untuned area of the injector maps.

The boost controller idea is ok, if you plan to tune at the same time. Plus, you can't do that based upon the blue box coming from the kit itself, it will change the timing back to what is on the ECU, and there could be some problems.

the wastegate will limit the amount of boost is allowed.

The kit can do up to about 12psi, then the actuator must be changed. If you have hondata, use a boost controller, and have the car tuned to 9psi, which is about 240 whp or so

If this is a b18 Integra kit, you can go to about sub 300whp, after that, you'll need to change some hardparts, like the downpipe itself, boost controller, and possibly the actuator.

The greddy kit for the integra was intended as a "bolt on" setup, with no real adjustment capabilities (at least not easy ones.) Nowadays there are people selling the better parts to upgrade their greddy kits, but you'll have to search around a bit.

the boost controller can be a manual. (The wastegate can adjusted from the boost controller). The downpipe can be made past the adapter elbow that came with the kit. There is someone that that does make a downpipe from the turbo back, but you may have to search for it.
