That question depends on how stock your engine is. Stock take 7-8 psi.
But, before worrying about boost you have tons of issues you will need to work with.

You will need either proper engine harness and ECU to go with engine or Standalone EMS. What are you gonna do with tranny as n/a and turbo models are different? Driveshaft lenghs and diameters are different.

It's probably better if you find a complete TII and build it up. That's my opinion.

It is amazing, indeed. It is amazing how such a little engine can whip out 600+ horsepower. I've heard some ppl have 200K miles on original engine. Yet, it can crap on you with less than 5k on a rebuilt.

Everytime I take my FC I always ck oil and coolant then I warm it up for about 5 min before I take off. I let my FC idle for a few min before I shut the engine.

I think if you're planning on give an extra TLC and common sense you'll be fine.
