uberdata scares the hell out of me, I suck at sodering.

Do you realize how HUGE the type 24 is? That's what I run and I'd drop a pic but I don't have any here at work.

What size TiAL WG? I'd also go with RC 550s over 440s if you want some flexability in your tune especially for upgrades later. I blieve they are the same price anyway. Don't believe those that tell you that the 550s will be too much for only 8psi, they're not and they're very controlable.

I'd stick with Hondata, but that's just me. What BOV do you have in mind? Going to upgrade the fuel pump? What do you have in mind for internals?

:wtf:? HUGE freaking intercooler with the smallest turbo evAr. That turbo will spool at like 1300 RPM and poo out at about 5300 RPM on a B18B. Heck, i calculated it to poo at at about 6000 on my D series.

and seriously, try uberdata, dont listen to all those haters too scared to try it. Its FREE and you can do ALMOST anything you can with Hondata, minus the 1 grand price tag.

and a recommendation, to save on money, you should just run the internal wastegate, and an MBC.

38mm wg
if you think 550s would be a better bet, then I would go with that
as far as internals, I think I am gonna stick with stock internals for a little bit. I want to get the hang of the whole boost thing before I go ballz out about it.

as far as the type 24, I am going off of a similar setup from a guy on H-T

edit: damn...I cant find the link right now.....he modified the apexi D kit, the same one paulll is running to fit the B series...beautiful torque numbers and curve...fast spooling. he is putting down around 270whp with 250wqtq

That FMIC is WAY too big for that turbo man... you just won't be pushing enough CFM and the larger FMIC will actually hurt your performance. Consider a larger turbo or a smaller FMIC.
