Default ls vtec turbo hold boost?

i have a stock bottom end and a stock 99 b16 head with skunk stage ones that hit 13.8 ina integra, but decided to go boost. i came across a turbo kit for sale and decided to sell my cams. the kit is a DRAG kit, not sure of what gen, but sure its one of the older ones... it has an upgraded jonny race car intercooler, hks blow off, and tial wastegate. my fuel is going to be RC 550 injectors, wahlbro 255 fuel pump, aem fuel rail and fprm and a VAFC. how well do you think my motor will hold the boost, and how many lbs should i boost, keep in mind it is a daily driver.. like really daily driver.. haha. thanks.
sorry for the Q's im a boost newb. thanks

As everyone will agree tuning is key. I'd suggest passing on the vafc for hondata, uberdata, or chrome. Also, the aem rail & fpr are not necessities. Good luck.

thanks, also: the block as roughly 65k on it and the head has about 45k on it.

You might do a compression/leakdown test to make sure your motor is healthy before you drop $ on boost also.
