Default New to Boost questions

Ok i'm new here, and fairly new to FI. So go easy on me...

Heres my setup

95 DX hatch
d16y8 top, and bottom
eagle ords w/arp bolts
standard bore vitara 8.4:1 pistons
ACL racing series main bearing, and rod bearing
d16z6 cam gear
arp head studs
a polished crankshaft
with a new oil pump, timing belt, water pump ext
rev hard turbo kit t3/t4 50 trim
440cc injectors
p06 vtec conversion chip
hondata s200


Dont think I missed anything.
Just a couple of questions.

First what oil do you guys reccomend? Of cource mobil one synthetic, but what weight would be best? I live somewhere cold if that will make a difference.

Its on 8lbs of boost right now, but will probably go up to 12 soon after I finish the break in.
Its not my daily driver and it was tuned at 12psi, but I was wondering how safe you guys thought 12 lbs is, and if it is safe how high could I go before I started to get into that grey area where I might start breaking things?

Also, I havent been driving it in the rain, but was wondering if it was a bad idea?

Thanks I'd appreciate any advice you guys might have
