Icon2 Newbie Turbo Questions here

Basically my friend got me into civics and convinced me to boost it. Sadly I know hardly a dang thing about FI. Can someone help me out here? Just a general overview and advice. I don't want to run more than 10psi because I don't want to risk blowing the engine. With that being said, will stock injectors or ecu work? Should I go larger and get a difference ecu as well? Also, I plan on getting all new internals beforehand. Is this necessary? Like I said, any help/advice is greatly appreciated. I'm new to this whole civic thing.

Your best to keep the factory ECU in place. And for tuning add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, A/F gauge (innovate pretty good) and add a sub-computer. Greddy e-manage will be the cheapest and offer enough adjustment to get you some decent numbers. Do a bit of research, not super tough to learn, I know Ive been there in the beginning and now working with higher-end HKS V-Pro computers.

WTF is 10PSI? Read the FAQs. Three times.
Funny how your friend convinced you to go boost but doesn't seem to be able to advise you.
