You should drive to NJ so I can help with the install. Turbos really get me going.

Also does the one 1psi cruise on the highway apply to all turbo size or just certain one?

thats only if you have your foot far enough into the floor so you arnt pulling vacuum. But if you dont and have the vacuum at 10 vacuum on the gauge then you should be good. I just like to cruise at 1 psi on the highway like going up huge hills really easily and the motor doesnt have to wrk as hard from what ive noticed

Boost is dependant on how much preasure you need to press the throttle to get to where you want to be. I can cruz around all day and not hit boost if I dont want to. Slow acceleration and easy cruzing in lower gears keeps you out of boost. Also small turbo's will spool alot easier than bigger ones. Big ones its almost hard to get to the point of boost. You gotta be all over the throttle to get it to spool. When accelerating you can moderate your boost by pedaling the gas to keep it at 0 or 1 psi. Its all in your driving style man. Think about how many cars come stock with turbo's. You think they would make a product that cant go on road trips? The only think that will really effect your water temp is if your Intercooler completly blocks your rad and your flooring it for extended periods. The honda cooling system is good for alot of hp though so you have nothing to worry about. Just try no to boost in 5th for extended periods like up hills or whatever downshift and use your NA power when your doing that.

Berz out.
