As already stated, that is a big goal to reach. I think you will need more than a magic turbo to get there. Some major tuning with a WB is a must. Internals should be used if you want this as a daily driver and some sort of sleeve reinforcement wouldn't hurt.

i'm on my way to take classes for tunning with efi that is on honda-tech, i don't really care about realiablity yet, i just want to run few times to learn how to tune then imma try like 200 hp for realiablity or drop in another motor. i'm just ------- around right now. i'll set the limits on the d15z1 to prove a few points.
