How is the city driveability with this turbo? Looking at this or the prl one. Does your turbo make the squeaking sound? I've seen some videos making weird sounds. Is that before anti surge revision?
What is the build date of your 25? I have zero issues with mine, and i have put on 28k miles. My steering feels super smooth. What does it feel like when it locks up? It just becomes stiff?
I like it. Wheelbase looks kinda short, so it's probably a civic and not accord. I dont think accord is due for a new model in 27, but civic is. If they dont kill off type r, widebody would make it more aggressive.
I never come close to 23psi on my phearable tune map2. I usually max out at 19 20psi. I use 93 oct and my kcon is solid at .48~.49. Power feels good, so I dont really think much of it. I suppose less boost is better.
Blowing rods dont seem as common as headgasket issues. I'd like to keep it around 250 and retain some reliability. Headgasket can be diy'ed, no big deal.
The clutch plate is the fk8 part. Flywheel is not. There is another flywheel option that weighs 19lbs and made from stainless steel. Personally wouldn't mind something lighter.

Current tune: ktuner v2 phearable 1.5r 93oct

Tune experience notes: smooth sailing
How bad ia the nvh? Like vibrating the rearview mirror bad or just vibration through the steering wheel bad? Some people say there is almost no increase in nvh.
I've been running the 1.5r for about 10k miles, but mostly map 1. Map2 doesn't feel like its going to break anything, but map3 does concern me with stock clutch. Let er rip!
