Default buying a b16b that was once turbod @ 5psi on fmu + upgraded fuel pump =reliable?

well im looking to buy this hatchback with a b16b that use to be turbod @ 5psi on fmu + upgraded fuel pump. i dont really know about FI so would this be too risky to buy? i know b16bs have high compression which is bad when it comes to turbo especially when its not tuned. what would you recommend that i do to insure that it would still be reliable? would a compression test be enough? or are there other factors i should be looking into? i just want a nice reliable ride to take me through college. thanks in advance!
