my question is when u install a turbo do you have to upgrade your Fuel injectors even if the turbo is only pushing 6 pounds of boost?

Default ABSOLUTELY

Absolutely. Stock injectors are pretty much maxed out without mods, that's why Civic's get such great gas mileage.

They can support a bit more N/A, but boost applications need a LOT more fuel than stock injectors are going to be able to run. Do yourself a favor, do NOT cheap out on your fuel and tuning setup. You will be blowing your **** up for sure if you do.

That is False. The stock fuel PUMP is known to be able to handle up to 300whp, but the injectors aren't much good past 160 IIRC
