Default ALL mtr to TURBO

I got jacked the other night for a stupid breather hose so now I have to take my car to the ref. JDM B16a isn't going to pass so I'm swapping the D16a6 back into my crx. After the smog test, I'm putting the DIY sohc turbo on and getting the Greddy Carb sticker. My question is... will 5.5 psi on the stock SOHC intercooled w/ a BOV last me at least 6months w/o driving too crazy and if something gives, what's going to give first?

Another concern, will this new type of setup make me fall in love and end up making me swap in an LS and turboing that!

I'm going towards Vortech 12.1 fmu, is that adequate? I heard about fuel pumps but will I need to upgrade the fuel injectors as well?

YOu dont need to upgrade injectors. Run the 12:1 and an inline hp pump and you should be fine.
