lots of threads on this.

Psi "boost" is relative to the turbo size not HP

Looks to spend about $3,000+

Please dont post a link to a ebay kit.

Only kit worth buying is intake, intercooler, and charge pipes.

Source everything else separately.

what your not understanding is we can't really give you a safe PSI/"Boost" reference without knowing what turbo size your running. What do you plan to make on the car? Regardless really NO boost is the safest for a stock H22A, lol You can slap a turbo on there and run a "safe" 8psi or something it's still eventually going to give the motors weren't meant to be boosted stock.

No, and the reason being that doesn't tell us the A/R or anything relevant. You need to read the FAQs in the Forced Induction forum and not ask silly questions in this one. Of course people have boosted every single Honda engine in the ever so popular main 3 - D, B, and H - (from the era anyways).

Personally, i would bare minimum sleeve the block if you plan on keeping it awhile, go with a small trim turbo like you posted and like Sparks said don't buy anything cheap. Cheap is never reliable and if it is it's not reliable for long. And maybe a simple engine management system and a good tune. H22A have FRM cylinder walls the walls don't crack very easy but makes it very easy for the ringlands too go and have blow-by. I wouldn't see why not with that bare minimum stuff done on a good tune you couldn't run like 10psi on a daily setup and have a little more pick up. If that's what you're looking for....but I'm not trying to be a smart *** but n3va is right i think honestly you should do a little more research in the Forced Induction pages and search FAQ's 90% of the answers you are looking for are gonna be in there and guys that builds are similar to what you're looking at doing... but you never know someone might come through here and answer your question better.
