t25 would probably be more than id ever need, as I won't run very high boost.

also, the jdm d15b is a shorter stroke version of the d16z6, and ill probably be dropping one in my car. Anyone know what the compression on it is?

Also, you think the 6-8psi would still be safe on it if tuned right?

And, what would you pay for it?
well, 8 psi from THAT turbo will be fine cause its not very big, but if you wanted to run 8psi from a 50 trim T3/T4 then you might have problems . . .

Not a bad idea, so their injectors are some sort of extra injector and not stock replacements?

I think I am better off piecing my own kit together. Alot of people will sell just manifold turbo downpipe and wastegate in a combo, I can get my own piping done.

That method of fuel delivery sux - your still gonna feel the boost transition.

VAFC hack or hondata are the ONLY good ways to do a fuel system on a turbo honda.

VAFC hack eliminates the need for the Missing Link Map sensor right?

Also, what do I need for that other than the VAFC, DSM Injectors? There some sort of little black box for the DSM injectors correct? Also, will I need an FPR or fuel pump?

with the VAFC hack, bigger injectors (RC or DSM), Resistor box for the DSM injectors, FMU (possibly, and an inline fuel pump.

check out www.homemadeturbo.com and www.turbod16.org for some more info too.

AEM costs 1500$. VAFC = 300$ and Hondata costs 400$ for the S200 with all the crap you'd need for boost. I think logic tells us whats best for out buck here.
