what it spools at and so forth really dpend on what you have done to the car. i know greddy kits which run (i belive) a smaller turbo hit boost at and or around the 3500 mark, but thats with vtec. correct me if im wrong, but your motor does not have vtec. IMO i would suggest a motor swap before going the turbo route. even if its just a SOHC vtec or step up to a b-series. oh yeah, you didnt not mention if your car is 5speed or auto, that too would be a factor with boost.

well i am limited on engine swap. only engine I can swap is k20.
Engine mod:
AEM Pulley
AEM Cam Gear (no adv or ret)
Tanabe Catback
Kamikaze header <----- don't need after turbo
2.5 Intercooler piping
Greddy Type S BOV
30 X 6 X 2 Intercooler
5Speed

Please don't tell me to do a engine swap. because I got all the parts I need for turbo. expect the turbo itself
