Howdy guys. Brand new to the site, and small engine imports in general (hence the screen name). I'm looking at a Civic hatch that's got a turbo'd D16z6. Here's some specifics: d16z6 turbo with .60 trim
ram horn exaust manifold
dp dumps straight down
aem fuel rail with 450cc and 250 lph walboro fuel pump
car is tuned on crome at 12 psi, everything else is still stock
Told me he's running around 220-230hp
So here's my question, is that a good setup? I talked to a guy that "knows all things Honda" and he told me its gonna blow up pretty quickly with stock internals. He said 5 lbs of boost would be too much, and the .60 trim was WAY too big. I have no idea about these cars or turbos, but I'm wanting to get into em, but I don't want my first one to be a bad experience. Any input helps. Thanks.
