Hello, I finally decided to do a turbo in my DX. I just want to know how much boost I can get while maintaining reliablility, I read an 8 psi boost is around where I want to be. Also, how much would it cost to have a turbo installed by a shop. Thanx.

as we've covered a few times, it's not how much boost you can run it's how much HP the motor can take. 8 PSI will produce more HP on a larger turbo than 8 psi on a small turbo.
Your question should be how much HP can my little D take before it imploads.. safely we've been hearing mid 200's tuned on stock internals |

The key word there is tuned. Make sure you have a hondata/uberdata or other tunable EMS system, and a competent tuner in your area. This will get you the most power out of your setup and money, and provide the most reliability for your engine.
