Hell, if it's built...crank it up ;D 14b's are great high boost turbos depending on your exhaust setup and it's restrictions.

Get or buy a P06 from an 92-95 Civic DX or LX. A guy I know with a Honda junkyard in his backyard had a P28 for sale for $100. I asked if he had any P06's, he had one that didn't have a case but it was only $20. I converted it to vtec and chipped it. Runs fine after some static issues. Most people pretty much give away P06's because they aren't in demand like P28's, especially around the non-hmt non-pgmfi type people. The usual build a fat vtack slap a $1000 turbo and ramhorn mani doesn't want anything to do with a P06.

theirs no such thing as a good safe base tune. A basemap is just mean't for getting you to a tuner or for someone just starting out tuning to have something that going to be close so they don't have to hard a time getting started.

Who cares about sleeves or posts. A 14b will do good on that motor, but even at higher pressures it won't make enough power to break your block...unless you have shitty tuning that causes a shitload of detonation. Then you'll crack a sleeve.

Listen to the man...he's 100% correct. Once you get that basemap, don't go stompin' around on it UNTIL it's completely fine-tuned. Otherwise you will end up with the issue I mentioned.

Take your time with it. You got the right mentality in a way, but I can see where you would like to cut corners. You WILL regret trying to speed though anything. I dont want to hear you complaining later on so take it easy ------.
