I have added a boost controller & plan on re-tuning the E-Manage soon. I currently run @ 10-11 psi w/no issues. Hoping to get up to >15 psi when it gets back on the Dyno. This is my daily driver, so I'm in no rush to attain light speed.
Although better than a stock DOHC setup, the cost was too much when compared to a B16 swap.
I have to say though, when someone w/a coffee can runs up my backside on the highway & I downshift. It's priceless when they take the very next exit.
Just realize that a proper Turbo setup costs alot of time & money.
You only made 135whp at 8psi? That's not a very good number no matter what turbo you are using. I made 126WHP naturally aspirated on my D16 with basic bolt ons and a Hondata. At 8psi even on a small 15g, for example, a D16 should make 170-180whp.
