Default What I need to take my Setup further

I have a ZC Engine in my 90 CRX Si. It is turboed currently at 6psi. All I have right now is a FPR and a timing retarder. Next week I am getting a Crane Ignition system with an external coil. I am going to rebuild my engine to a lower compression so I take the psi up to 15ish. Here is a list of what I think I need but I am novice to turbos so please let me know what I am overlooking. Also please let me know of what companies I should look at for these products.

- Pistons
- Rods
- IC - are there any that will just fit a CRX or will it always require custom front end work?
- Injectors
- Fuel Rail
- Fuel Pump
- Programmable ECU (Thinking ZDyne)
- Block Guard (or should I get the block pinned?)
- Do I need a new Crank Shaft?
- How reliable are Manual boost controllers? Should I not bother and save for an electronic one?
- Anything Else?

Pistons- Eagle or Arias
Rods- same as above
IC- I believe this will have to be custom
Injectors- RC 550's should be big enough. (not sure if the ZDYNE can control them)
Fuel Rail- Why?
Fuel pump- Walbro 255 or stock Supra pump?
ECU- Zdyne
Block guard- I've heard mixed opinions on these. Pinning might be a better idea.
Crank- should be O.K, maybe have it shot-peened and balanced
BC- at that high of psi, manuals might be prone to spike. Electric if you can afford.
You should probably get some polyurethane mounts and obviously a clutch.
Good luck.

Nope just a FPR running at 50psi....no knocking no signs of detenation. Acutally runs rich...I don't have a meter but you can see it on the spark plugs and smell it in the exhaust....oh I do have a new clutch it is a dual friction centerforce clutch...
