Does this person have a driver's license? This really concerns me.

T2 setup? What kind of trim will you be using? A/R ratio?
450cc injectors provides more flow then what you'll need. All you're doing is making your tuner work harder.
Make more torque then hp? Easy, keep your revs below 5252.


Do some research before deciding what you want to do.

A T2 is TINY... I run the T1R kit which uses a T25 (I think), and the boost is instantaneous anywhere above 3k. From 2.5-3k I can have full boost in under 3 seconds or so. I have a feeling the T2 wouldn't end up making much power in the long run.. Just go with one of the proven kits (HKS, T1R, or the upcoming Greddy).

Also, it's a Honda. You just aren't gonna make more torque than HP on a narrow-bore 1.5L engine, no matter what you do.

Unless, of course, you stay under 5252RPMs

out of all the turbo kits out there right now
I'd go with the hks but make sure ur tuner can tune it before u buy it cuz not many can do it
and I have t1r kit now and I am sure its a t2 turbo
you also mention u get full boost after 3sec from 2500rpm -3000rpm.. Well thats a very slow car u have ....
and if all u wanna do is improve TQ then get S/C

So you get 6lbs instantly at 2500rpm? What are your turbo bearings made of?? Unobtanium?

But in all seriousness, from full vacuum cruise at 2500rpm I can have 6lbs in 2 or 3 seconds. How long does yours take? Just curious. I tuned mine myself with a wideband and my laptop, so I didn't get the full advantage of ignition timing (I didn't want to find the limit of knock on the street with out so much as a knock light), so that might have something to do with it.

Look at the political signature. They seem to be so worried about immigrants. Wow you'd think they would learn to speak English first. I'm guessing Spanish is also beyond his grasp!
