can a turbocharged car be a daily driver?

this is not the answer im looking for.
okay, YES. It is physically possible to daily drive the car with perfect reliability. As long as you don't race the shit out of the car and beat it to death, it will survive. And as previously mentioned i wouldn't go more than 6-8psi of boost, that's the limit a stock engine can take.
btw the car is running rich right now, wtf?
that's because you have an fmu. you need a chipped ecu with Crome or better, Hondata and get it professionally tuned. then it will be faster, run better, and have twice the reliabilty of un-tuned vehicles.

there are plenty of stock vehicles that come turbocharged, aka Evo, wrx/sti, etc. You just need to bring the Integra up to par, and for legality issues, GReddy and Edelbrock make smog-legal turbo kits. But, I guess you already have this turbo kit installed? So just hope you don't get popped!
 
Yes it can be done. I daily drove a 90 Talon AWD that would make 520awhp. I dd'd it around 275 though.

Your car is probably running rich because you have a shit tune and an FMU(it's a hunk of shit).

Are you asking these questions after the fact?
If so, seems like your cart is in front of the horse...

"Can a turbocharged car be daily driven?"
Yes.

Can YOUR car be daily driven?
Not as it is.

What do you have to do to it to make it a DD?
Get a real tune. Get it up to par with California's laws.

Nuff said.

You can run more the 6lbs on a gsr just saying... my buddy runs 500whp dd on stock internals and its going strong for over a year its all in the tune. If you were in any other state then Cali I would say rock it but you do so that sucks... Here in colorado as long as it passes emissions and isnt throwing out a ton of un burn gass your good for 2 years.. But if you run E85 your good even w/o a cat!

Is that like when Nerk said he's seen cars running 500+whp on stock internals, later to find out non of the cars he was thinking of had stock internals, the only thing stock about the bottom end was the sleeves. Lol.

I wouldn't dare run 500whp on a stock block. I'm going to run 230 on a stock bottom end, well beneath the recommended. Reliability is a must,. ;)
