This turbo would be too big for your stock motor. I know a guy here locally that runs a Drag kit on his D16Y8 and he just can't make enough power to push that big turbo. You'd be better off gettting the Greddy kit.
SleeperCivicEX runs a 14.0 on stock internals with 440cc RCs, Greddy Type 31 FMIC and a VAFC at 11.5 psi on his '99.
He's been running at least 8psi for 2 years now and hasn't had a problem at all. That's what I suggest.
As for my next mod, I'll prolly get my EG9 spoiler put on and be done for a while. It's been a long time since I wasn't working toward something and I'd like to start spending my money elsewhere.
