Put it in a zip file. I think you can post it that way.

I actually had a friend review my datalogs who confirmed everything looks good. The 24.6 is infact was fractions of a second and is in between shifts. I confirmed that 22.3 psi is what my +6 is pushing out.

That's interesting. My +6 CVT tune was seeing about 20 psi. With the custom tune I just did I'm seeing 22.1 psi with a peak of 23.3 psi.

Its clear that +6 is more than a 6 psi gain over stock in the manual. More like +8 because stock is about 14 psi.

I have been reading that from factory it's actually about 16.5 psi on the manual 1.5 turbo. Therefore, that should be about right if I'm peaking at around 22.3 psi with +6. Members from the 10th Civic Forum has researched it and confirmed from Honda website official spec sheet.

Here's the deal (to my knowledge). Yes, Honda claims the 1.5 base motor is boosted to 16.5 psi for both CVT and manual. But, in the real world nobody is seeing much more than 13 to 14 psi stock. If someone else can chime in here differently let us know.

My 2018 SI peaks at 17 WOT. Havnt seen anything higher than that. From what I understand though the turbo fan in the SI is different from the other models available.

The Si certainly has more boost than the base 1.5 no doubt. I just contend the 16.5 Honda claims on the base turbo is bs.

So you think it's less for both MT and CVT?
I just don't see how could there be a difference in boost between transmissions if CVT gets the same or even shorter times at 0-60.

You're misreading what I'm saying. Another member posted that the manual has more boost. Honda claims 16.5 psi for the 1.5 base turbo regardless of transmissions. In datalogging and reading tests by Hondatata and others, max boost is more like 14 psi. To my knowledge the CVT is slightly quicker not due to more psi but the extra shift to hit 60.
