youre going to want an ecu that can be tuned. with the ebay turbo, you dont want to run too high boost, kit probably wont be able to handle it along with your stock block. i personally am a little sketchy about ebay turbos that are no brands.

f blocks are pretty strong. that car should be able to make 220-240 whp safely. and it is not boost that breaks things it is hp. so dont worry yourself over the psi.
