i would say 11 psi max. could do more with really good tuning.oil tap comes from oil pressure sensor on back of the block. water just comes from tapping water lines. its pretty simple. u can use turbo edit. check out the engine management forum. and check it out. read more . cause everything is there. if u just keep asking questions u will get flamed because everything is there. just gotta look man

I don't know if going turbo honda and reliability such a great thought, especially for a novice turbo user. Don't mean to dampen your spirits, but think about it.
