Kind of confused....When y’all say +6psi and +9psi what total PSI is the turbo pushing?

my AFRs are running around 14.5-14.8 around idle. As for boost, the stock TD03 can only handle the max 29 psi. Even pushing to 29 is really killing the turbos life hence why Hondata doesn't recommend running scramble mode (+9 psi) on too much. I also only run 93 octane

Well Stoichiometric at idle is a given...but what are your AFRs at WOT?my AFRs are running around 14.5-14.8 around idle. As for boost, the stock TD03 can only handle the max 29 psi.

29psi on these turbos seems like a recipe for disaster. I'm going to guess that these little guys are efficient up to about 23psi give or take on 91 octane. Anything past that is just blowing hot air into the motor. As a point of reference, the 16G turbos on the Evo 9s ran out of steam at about 24psi.
If you can do some datalogs and post them up I'd be curious to see what these tunes are actually doing.
This is an old thread, but I thought I would leave my experience here, in the case that it is useful to someone. I have a 2019 1.5t 6MT with AEM CAI, stock turbo. I had been running hondata stage 2 +6psi for a month or two. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try out stage 3 +9psi. I have not used scramble mode... YET . I notice a huge difference in boost, so much so that I am keeping a keen eye and ear on the datalogs, sounds of the turbo, etc. AFR at WOT are looking good between 14 and 15. My only concern is the strain I am putting on that little turbo, so I may be looking at an upgrade there, and probably a PRL downpipe (though I really don't want my neighbors to despise me ). I will try to follow up here with updates!
