yea you get it chipped for more psi. on my husbands integra he had a T3 and it was set for 7psi and he also had a chip for 8psi. we always ran 7 because 8 made the car run weird because i wanted to die when you would sit at a stop but when you would go it was really fast. the T25 will spool up faster. the integra had a b18b and with the T3 it had about 250hp.
psi chips? You mean springs? You can usually get different springs for your wastegate that will allow for different psi levels.

Your husbands teg was sick, whats his next move?
Or get a boost controller

Very cool! Ok I think for my application I would probably benifit best from the t25. So with stock internals but a slightly upgraded clutch approx how much boost can/should I run to keep my motor safe? I plan on having it professionally tuned because it sounds like that's what most of you guys(gals) seem to reccomend. So 50 to 75 hp gain safely? I have a friend with a 328is bmw and I wanna kick his ***. His car runs about 200-225hp right now. Even if I just stay close and shut him up a bit. Thanks for all the info so far this site kicks *** for a new Honda guy!

clutches will start slipping in top gears first so as long as you stay say within the first 3 gears you should be fine until you can get a new clutch installed.

by the way i have a hf manifold that you could use for your turbo set up just bolt on the adapter plate and your t25 cheap. if your interested pm me

If you have the dough, get yourself a GT28r(~700) or the disco potato(~1000), they spool fast and should have no trouble getting you 300 ponies if you ever decide to build the engine.

Remember though, you can only use a boost controller to UP the boost, not lower it.

Sorry I mean I have an upgraded clutch and pessure plate. So I think I want a T25 but I cant find any manifold's that say they are for the civic and mount a T25. Is there a bracket or adapter that works on all the t3t4 mani's or where can I find them??? I see riceburner700 has one but are there options out there?
