Icon2 boost on stock components

How much power can i boost until my stock clutch can't handle and same as my stock fuel pump? Do i have to get some kind of fuel management like a fuel pressure regulator or those expensive hondata s300 ecu if im only boostin 6-8psi. im only looking to get around 180-200 whp on my currently stock d16y8 motor. I want to turbocharge my civic just for daily driving fun and not a track beast because i just love the bov sound. Music in my ears

I'm in the process of boosting my d16z6 del sol, so we're kind of in the same boat. I have decided that even as a DD it is a good idea to go ahead and upgrade the whole fuel system (fuel pump, injectors, s300, etc.), because if you dont, you will be running lean all the time even at just 6-8 lbs, which will definately cause your some problems. Might as well do it right the first time and not have to worry about it.
