The question is your engine healthy enough to boost for your horsepower goal.

6psi doesn't mean anything. 6psi on two differently sized turbos means two different power levels for the same pressure. Give us a horsepower goal and we can better help you

You can boost any motor so stop listening to those people

Your injectors are too small for any turbo setup so you'll need larger injectors (power level dictated) and what sort of engine management are you using because a stock ecu won't work. You'll also need things like a wideband and someone to dyno tune and street tune the car

Also how many miles on the motor? I suggest you do a leakdown and compression test to assess the motors health to see if it will withstand forced induction

compression is great across the board I have wideband and I have 440cc I can put in and im running an s300 in my ecu with port to tune it thanks for the advise

Power goal?
440s are good for a little under 300 at 85% duty cycle (the limit)
