Default noob: new to hmt

coming over from honda-tech, signed up here a while back but never really got time to explore. here's a pix of the setup. (recently upgraded to crome so the fmu doesn't exist anymore) hope to be a part of the hmt and learn more about turbos...

Lol, I was kinda thinking the same thing. But hey, at least he's taking a step in the right direction here.

Well then, that's what we're here for. Just as a forewarning, HMT is to the wild west as H-T is to a country club. We can get pretty rude and obnoxious at times, but if you're a true die hard you won't let it get to you. We have quite a few people here that have good in depth info regarding things from boost down to compressor efficiency and such, dare I say maybe even more working knowledge than H-T. Welcome.

honda-tech sometimes doesn't really answer my turbo questions. i'm also doing research on pgmfi.org for some of my answers. yes i am aware of people being rude. i see them all the time on ht.

the oil line doens't touch the belt so i guess it's fine. it's zip tied pretty tight at the moment until i get a longer one. yes 7psi untuned that is. i just recently picked a chipped p28 running crome to run my 550's by i guess i really needs a tune.

i really want to tune it at 10psi just to reach 300whp but the motor is sitting at 151k and needs a rebuilt. it runs fairly strong for the milage and clean. doens't burn oil or show any signs of braking down. the only thing is boggin at a cold start and a bad thermostat. i'm planning on sleeving another block that i will be getting. that one will see a lot of boost.
