Default b16 build questions

ok, so I have a b16a crx that I have just put:
CP pistons w/ 10.5 to 1
eagle rods
arp head studs
new head gasket
and had my head completly rebuilt.

Just finally got it all broken it w/ 3000 miles right now, so I was thinking of putting a turbo on it. I just recently got a hx35. What would be a good boost level for my car? I have a tuner in mind that I know does a good job, b/c he tuned my buddys turbo accord and it was amazing. I was thinking of running 20lbs of boost. I know that with high compression motors you run a higher risk of blowing your motor when running high boost, but with a good tuner I think I should be ok. Please give me your opinions, and how many pounds I should be running.

You need to search.

You need to look up a few things the key words i'd try here and google would be hx35 as holests are kinda a different breed.

turboing a honda

what psi means and it's relation to turbine size and trim

your compression ratio as is and it's fueling limits.
