i dont run the greddy kit but i run 16lbs with my set up on a stock block. runs smooth, im not worried. everyone will tell you it will blow up, i say bring it on, k24 will replace it nicely.

Thanks. Im thinking of going with 8 for now. See how it runs. And i wanna drop a k24 to replace mine also. But not just yet. Im broke. hahaha. But i will drop one once my engine gets around 150xxx to 200xxx

i was running 12 lbs for over 2000 miles with no issues, i just had to put in the 3bar map and new knock sensor and have had it at 16lbs for over a month, love it. i just dont drive hard at all when its hot.

Ive seen the greddy kit in k20a2's run at 14 daily. The a2 is a higher compression so I can only assume its harder on the engine than the a3...

very true, if a2s run at 14 just fine that is a good sign for the a3 to hold as much or more.

I got a couple different numbers. Its my daily driver. I wont be pushing it hard every second. But will be messing around racing some kids or adults who roll up next to me probably every day. Whats a good solid number to leave my turbo at? I also use 5w 30 royal purple and k&n oil filter if this helps

lol royal purple and k&n oil filter hahahahaha. How bout you go get Mobil 1 Synth and an OEM honda filter. Ever cut open a K&N filter and see what it looks like inside? Regardless. That shit wouldnt help anyways.

I was told royal purple is the best to go with and why oem filter? Im pretty sure k&n is the best to go with also. I didnt mean it help my engine. If the info will help you guys help me out with what i should be pushing
