stock h22 motor insurance on boost.

I will be on stock motor for a year, running around 8psi. Should I get somthing like a thicker head gasket, and stronger head bolts? This is on a stock h22a1 with 100,000 miles on it.

do a compression test, if numbers check out you should be fine if you've got good fuel management

You should be fine, provided you don't dog out the motor and keep it tuned a bit rich.
