You need to be careful when boosting your 8th gen. civic. The problem is the tuning software available for your engine. Unfortunately Hondata does not make a Kpro system for your engine so you are left two other choices: greddy e-manageor AEM F/IC. I have read of numerous situations where these systems have destroyed engines. They are just not as good/reliable as Kpro. I'm not saying that if you tune with e-manage or aem fic you will definitely destroy your engine becausethere are some people who are running low boost setups using this software and so far so good. Just wanted to make you aware of what can happen so make sure you do your research before making any decisions.
