ARP Headstuds should do you fine.

The ARP headstuds reduce the chance of head lift which is common using OEM bolts/studs whatever they are.

it really depends on how much boost you are planning to run, as said arp head studs are a must to prevent head lift, also a cometic head gasket will help to, you should be safe at 8-10lbs of boost if you get it tuned well.

As stupid as it sounds i saw a D15B run 18 psi and a 35 shot on stock internals , and didnt blow up . Not sure how the hell that works , but im sure with a real nice tune you will be fine at anything below say like 10 psi . Also just be sure to get some good gauges to watch over everything , id go with obviously boost . But also a good air/fuel to make sure you dont lean out , and an oil pressure to make sure everything is on par .

ive heard d15b's are prety good under boost, you should be fine up to 10 psi anyways just make sure u got the fuel to supply it and get it tuned!!
