Default 189k + Rev Hard kit???

hello everyone i am new to the whole FI forum - my car and mods is in my sig. my birthday is the 27th and wanted to know of everything would be okay to bolt on a rev hard kit since they have their summer special

what (if anything) would i have to do to SAFELY (daily driver) boost my car 7-9psi??
i know i would first check to see if the compression is good..... but if so, any precautions i could take? get it tuned safe? like i said - im new to FI so any help would be beneficial

thanks - Brad

Hondata and good tuning and you will be straight. I have a LS motor with 240,000+ miles on it and it has been boosted for 9 months and about 20,000 miles. So I hope that is a lil inspiration for you. Good luck with your setup

all i would really be worried about is all the plumbng and stuff? is there a good write up out there for a turbo kit install? or would the Rev hard kit be different?

would 7-9psi be safe?
