Default boosting a stock B16A2

I have a 2000 si motor in my hatch and I wanted to know what kind of set up I'm going to need and how many pounds can I push on the stock motor?
Thanks

Finding a turbo kit shouldn't be too hard, but the main question is what are you going for? A mild street build? Or a hardcore, Vette slaying setup? Since you included the word "stock" in your title, I'm assuming its a mild street build. Stock blocks run great on 5-8 lbs of boost and that alone will give you a seat of your pants increase. Any more than 10 pounds and you'll start experiencing head gasket problems (atleast friends of mine have).
