turbo mini-me

[CRX2NR18]

yes sorry ive asked this question before but got tons of answers and i was in another forum... so here it is
what boost can i run on a mini-me? its a6 block, and z6 head. with a6 pistons. I want to run a T25 turbo or 14b, basically a really small quick spooling turbo. I want to run 8 or 9lbs max but im not sure if that is to high for mini-me, i think the compression ratio is around 9.9:1. what should be the max i should run and im kinda new to turbo kits... this is what i have so far...

Front Mount intercooler
HF manifold (ported)
Not sure which turbo to get.
I got all the charge pipes
And a BOV.
what else will i need, i know injectors but not sure which one
and dont i need a fuel management unit??
thanks for the help

9.7 with the a6 headgasket
9.95 with the z6 gasketket

thats fine for boost. its not too high.

MAX BOOST is not something to even consider. read the sticky- turbo 101. you want to build and tune for a power level- not a psi level. you're going backwards.

it all comes down to proper fuel delivery and management.

if you're going to run an FMU and stock injectors- I'd say 8 would be a safe level.
vafc hack and some 440cc's, and i'd say 9.

anything higher, you're going to need a 3-bar map sensor, and thus, a computer than can intrepret the different voltages correctly. obd0 maps are good for 9.65 psi.
