Is there a maximum safe allowable boost for this turbo that is recommended for longevity?

I’m also curious about anti-lag will this turbo be able To handle it or is it best to refrain?

I plan to take it as far as it will go safely I already have 4 bar sensors so if the turbo can exceed 32psi I’m ready for it
I know the W1 isn't recommended to exceed 28psi for best life, I would assume this is similar but rich @RV6 would have to answer that. I know people have gone over that for sure, don't know if it really affect the life of the turbo or not.

You have the fuel system right? Excited to see how it works out for you.

No rush we have the problem figured out and solved. How many people are running on ethanol? Hoping to get around 300whp with my non si hatch.
That shouldn’t be a problem. Derek just tuned a hatch with a bigger turbo and ethanol that made 293whp.

@NicKoLi did you get your final tune? How does the car feel?
It feels really good. Basically it feels as fast as what it can be without a giant turbo that would probably mess my motor up. Overall I am definitely happy from where the car started. Suprisingly fast and im guessing the car can run 12's which isnt bad for a little gas saving honda daily. I installed the prl front pipe and now im dealing with vibration issues. First it was a socket wrench in the trunk. Then the hanger on the front pipe was broken and where the downpipe meets wasnt tightened all the way. Then the heat shield was rubbing, now I almost got it but theres some kind of rattle driving me nuts. Other than that everything is solid.. it got cold so my prl catted dp popped a code again but I switched back to no insert on my defouler and its been clear so far. I thought I was done with this car lol, thats how this stuff goes I guess.

On a seperate note, has anyone gotten an upgraded bypass valve like the boomba racing one. I am hearing things like better sound and more consistant psi. Anyone know ?

Good to hear it's coming along man. I had clearance issues with prls front pipe also, I ended up switching to maperformance front pipe along with their cat back.
