might help to tell us what you have 
but yeah they are all pretty small turbos. i had an IHI on my ZC and didnt like it too much, sure it spooled up hella quick but it died on the top end

I have a Rhb5 on my subaru but i have no idea how it behaves on a honda. I was thinking that since it stays spooled most of the time that it would use a lot of gas( if that makes any since). It would be a good turbo for autocross and make a good stoplight car. Not sure about all out drag racing. Maybe lowering the shift points a little would compensate.

that is pretty much your decision. But if you read most of the replies, the RHB5 has its problems. both me and MR8 replaced the RHB5 for the bigger t3. do it right the first time and save money.

ok ....
just say theoretically this RHB5 is brand new, no leaks no craps, no prob.
I'm just shooting for 170whp 175whp or so
my engine
d16y8 SOHC vtec, year 2000 on a civic
stock hp about 100whp - 110whp.. so 105whp
i need about 65-75whp gain, can this turbo get it at like 7-8psi?
like the apexi kit they are selling offers pretty good.. and it's almost same turbo.. what do you think?
