Default Boosting??

Hey guys I have a 95 del sol with a b16 jdm. The block has been rebuilt with all OEM parts except the pistons are CTR pistons. The head is completely stock. My question is if I can put a turbo on the motor. I'm only planning like 5 or 6 psi. But I don't know if I'm gonna blow a head gasket or something. Also I'm wondering if the stock cams would be good with the turbo setup?

Sure, get it tuned on a dyno by a good tuner. For the headgasket, ARP Headstuds are a great recommendation, helps keep the head from lifting.

So if I get upgraded cams and other mods I should build them for boost? How well will my stick cams be for the setup? I'll have a s300.

Upgrade to ARP headstuds and your cams will be ok but I would recommend ITR cams instead.
