and i will say it again, the greddy emanage pretuned map sucks, you have to get a REAL tune anyways and you should see a good 20+ hp
LIKE I SAID BEFORE, TUNING IS KEY y0!

word on what tcholic said.
i have the 16G greddy on my rsx. i turned the boost up to 20psi. got no higher HP, but gobs more torque. so i stuck with 17psi being high boost setting. (i should've gone Full-Race's setup
)
although if i was running race gas, i could've made more power by advancing ignition
weeeeeeeee!

oops forgot, if you plan on turning up the boost, watch the injector duty cycle. you do not want to push over 85% duty on them. otherwise, you'll hit a lean condition and pop.
if you want more boost, its also needed that you get bigger injectors.

The kit is pre-tuned for and set at 5psi. 200whp is really good, i wouldnt complain!

your numbers are "low"? get it tuned and see the difference. you cant expect a basemap to run the same on every car and provide the same HP. btw, upgrade to emanage ultimate while you're at it if you're serious about getting tuned the right way.
like someone said above you, "TUNING IS THE KEY".
i personally dont think the automatic transmission is a factor of limiting HP anymore when it comes to turbo. The auto trans takes HP, yes, but it doesnt take a huge chunk out of it. I know my car isnt the tC, but I've made more power than Greddy turbo'd RSX type-S's.

That is not true, my cuzin has a evo 3 gt turbo which looks like a small donut, on a small 06 civic, non SI, little R18 single cam, and with just the turbo and fuel return system he is pushing the wheels is 201.WHP and 227tq, in mind you this is a 1.8 liter single cam honda, not tuned or with exhaust,, the company who produced this was AJP in Florida, ad once tunned with exhaust we are looking at at least 220-230 WHP out of a single cam 1.8 liter civic.

yeah dude the gas mileage is because of the map greddy put in. it is really rich. i had a slight tune on my car. just by leaning it out a little bit so i could get better gas mileage i gained 11hp. the car started at 240hp and i ended up with 251. that is with 8lbs of boost and a leaking exhaust manifold.
