I'm runnin a Garrett GT30R tuned @ 15psi since I only have a 2bar MAP sensor... Once I get my 3.5bar I plan on boosting about 25psi and should be at about 450-475hp and landin 10's in the 1/4, hopefully I'll have some slicks by then lol.. So all in all I spent about $1500 on turbo setup, tuning, suspension parts, and random little things (resistors for injectors, gauges, etc) and I'm in a 92 civic hatch with a single cam runnin 11's, pretty happy with that.. And my motor is the JDM D15B Single Cam Vtec with the JDM D15B LSD Tranny...

Yeah, but the D15B (or K20/24) is much more capable than the A18, unless you spend a buttload of money upgrading the motor, but then you're just wasting money on a Civic.
I would be careful with the 3.5 bar. Not for your motor's sake, but for your drivetrain. That's almost guaranteed breakage somewhere, especially with FWD.
