your gonna want to get some sort of fuel management as well...the hack that you see refers to the Apexi VAFC hack, this is the low budget fuel management......
search: VAFC
you can also research hondata and/or uberdata

at ANY psi, you're going to need some fuel management
the vafc hack is the least expensive, but most limiting as well
if you're only doing 5psi though, vafc should suit your needs perfectly...

if in the future, you plan to boost more psi, i'd consider uberdata or hondata (uberdata is considerably less expensive)

I'd say Good Fuel management/ tuning is the most important aspect of going turbo, so don't cheep out here... You don't want your engine to explode b/c it was running too lean

 

if you only want to run 5 pounds then just buy an fmu and a fuel pump...that is what my brother has on his d15b and he is running 9psi. as far as fuel management anyway
