Default need opinions

My friend has a 1.6L honda civc and wants to boost it. He just purchased a t25 and only wants to boost 6psi. The car has 160,000 miles on the orignal engine. The concerns are timing belt, water pump, and clutch reliability. Also, I'm not sure how to advise him on the fueling. Does he need bigger injectors or FMU? I understand turbos and have made a kit for my own car but I don't know hondas. I'm looking for a simple reliable system that works.

Thanks

he doesn't need injectors especially with a snail that size, the compressor housings are pretty small. An FMU will work for this setup, but they aren't the best method of fuel 'control'.. An SAFC/VAFC and an EGT gauge would be better IMO.
