Default turbo newb, need some help..

ok so i have a 91 ls in my 91 hatch, and i was either thinking to get a b20 or build a cheap turbo kit using mostly junkyard parts. i really want a turbo but only plan on boosting maybe 5-8 pounds, or whatever is safe without using hondata or uberdata or whatever all that stuff is. as u can tell im a newby and am having trouble finding info. so what im wondering is what turbo is good for an ls motor, i was thinkign maybe t25 or something small that spools fast. what parts exactly could i use that i coudl find from a junkyard??? bov, injectors, intercooler??? i need to know what kinda cars they come from too. also what about tuning, if im running such small amounts of boost, can u use an fmu? are those safe? i NEED HELP!

i have a friend that is baiscally like you and in the process of building his homemade set up with mostly dsm parts. you can use the 2.0 TSI injectors, the intercooler, bov, use the tdo5h it makes more power in teh higher band and spools just as fast asthe t25.
