It's nice to see a Civic that has some numbers other than the body kit and spoiler bills. Nice car.

lol ah someone finally figured it out lol. thanks for the props guys. i just like a clean look for my car... doesn't have to be almighty JDM or anything just simple. I've only ran it once at 6psi and did a 14.8 @ 93mph on my first run, 2nd run my clutch slipped BAD and i went 15.0 @ ??? (lost the timeslip). I didn't get any clean runs and I hate to make excuses but my clutch wasn't exactly grabbing (screw centerforce) and as i said it slipped on the 2nd run i made. I have a 6puck ceramic sitting under my bed so as soon as it's in and my new turbo gets here I'm hitting the track again @ 6psi (just for comparison) and then @ 8psi.

I need a bigger turbo.

Im curious, is that a filter on your WG dump tube?
I'm not in Tampa. I'm in Pembroke Pines, FL now (between Ft. Laud and Miami). What size turbo are you running? No i's not a filter on the wg dumptube lol... just realized it looks like it though. It's my intake filter pipe. The intake pipe is NARROW and it's flared at the end to fit the filter. Here's a better pic:

ah yah you run a turbo with a lil smaller specs than mine... is it the t3 super 60? ooh that dyno was LEAN up top. What were you doing for fuel management? Vapor semi tuned my car on my first dyno session got the a/f to around a 12.0 across the RPM band. I'm running the AFC "hack" with the DSM 450cc's.
