A Honda has a MAP sensor....Manifold Absolute Pressure....hence, it compensates for altitude changes on its own! No need for special tuning.
You talk about your wonderful 170 ft-lbs of torque, but your turbo is too tiny to keep the torque at 170 ft-lbs....hence why it drops so low at higher revs.
Do use a favor and learn more about other peoples stuff before you start preaching the bible. You think the Edelbrock kit is overpriced? Both Rev Hard and Drag kits go for about the same price.
blah blah blah, even when my 170 ft pounds drops off in the last 1000 rpms i'm still making more than you across the board. So either i'm making 30 more or 5 more torque to the wheel, you still lose.
And revhards come with a t3/t04E, not a pussy ass T28. You can't compete with the big boys, and when you try and pick on the small turbos you still lose. BTW if you think IHI ball bearing turbos are out of date you must live in a hole in the ground, they are making 700-1000 whp in rx7, supras etc in japan. All the top WRX tuning companies also choose the same ball bearing turbo for their upgrade turbos. The Vishnu stage 2 kit with the ihi bb turbo puts down over 300 whp.
Who else is using a T28 in their kit? hrmm no one, cause it's the old/outdated turbo. How about i spend that extra money i saved and go get a real intake manifold like an AEBS or skunk 2 so i can see some real gains instead of dumping my money into a bunch of edlebrock crap.
