You'll be fine with the stock MAP until approx. 12 psi.

You will need some kind of engine management when you want to switch to a bigger map sensor.

stock map up to 12psi, boosting is not cheap. If I had to do it all over again id stick with 7psi with stock p72 (if vtec) on stock injectors with an fmu and an upgraded 255 fuel pump. Great daily I had no problems untill i took the fmu off and hit higher boost and tuning. Dont boost any higher with out changing compression, pistons, rods, injectors etc... Trust me! Thats the cheap safe route.

ummmm... FMU is not a safe route...... tuning is the key on any boost level.....
