we have done a few turbo ITRs at our shop. they make good power cause of the highercompression and good cams they have.

THey can be safe to around 8-10PSI if tuned properly

[mycivic]

so u can run on stock motor

[Vteckidd]

yes , AS LONG AS ITS TUNED CORRECTLY

what kind od whp numbers would it make and would it be worth ti

I don't know exact number but I of properly tuned B18c1 who put down 255-275 at 8-10lbs, so I would guess that you would put between 285-300hp, What ever the guys at mainstream say i would concure.

we just did one, with a drag 3 bolt on kit it made 230whp at 7psi.

They usually make around 250-270 at 10 PSI
