dont look at it in terms of psi, 15lbs from a t25 is way different than 15lbs through a gt35r. better off using a hp goal, if your motor is bone stock around 300 whp is what i would say. and get a good tune, no point in blowing up your car with a shitty tune
i may not be "logical" but at least i can change my oil...

Need more info.

Most turbo Hondas around here I've seen run junk safc's to "tune". Don't cheap out on engine management, seems to be over looked by too many people and it's so essential.

It's all in the tune. Buy Hondata, have Lowe tune it. Will be safe and reliable.

As said above, need to know more about the setup. Talking about pressure is useless as we have no idea the size of the turbo to determine how much volume of air it would forcing.

If your going to talk generally, a hp and torque figure will be a better reference.

As said above, psi is irrelevant. Your goal should be in terms of hp not psi. every turbo is different.
