Re: H22 Boost
Well I'm no Honda kid, but I'm just guessing that your engine makes 200hp. I'm also guessing you WANT 275-300. That would be almost out of the T3's operational range, and you'd be running upwards of 15psi. Something to think about. You need a bigger turbo.

Re: H22 Boost
In your situation I would just get a thicker headgasket to drop the compression a bit...It's a pretty easy mod thats not too expensive and a little added insurance. I would also go with a bigger turbo t3/t4 or maybe even a t4. You could probably safely run 7-10 psi if you don't beat up on it. Then when you upgrade fuel,tune, etc.. it should make a nice amount of power.

Re: H22 Boost
thank you all for the help, especially about the turbo sizing....but the compression lowering headgasket is not going to help me any....if i boost too much, my ringlands will fry, and the headgasket doesnt protect against that....
