Default high comp. GSR can i boost?

Hey every in FI i rarely venture in here and this is my first post in here

but pretty soon i may inheit an f-max kit (long story) for a crx w/ b16. i know i will have to modify the intercooler pipes. but hey a turbo is a turbo. i recently got a comp. test and i checked out 250 all the way across. BTW my car is a 94 gsr w/ ITR pistons and cams. My main question was can i SAFELY run low boost on my car with this setup?

Oh and i just bought an ebay special clutch and plan on upgradeing my flywheel i was thinking an ACT Prolite but would that be too lite for a turbo setup?

Thanks In Advance for the help
