Default Turbo B16A only 10 lbs of boost how much needs to be upgraded? Internally?

I just kind of want to know if I have to really change much with the motor besides fuel pump injectors and ecu? I know how to do this just not what needs to be done to have a reliable B16B for everyday driving.

you have a b16a or b16b?? but if you have the b16a its good to get low compression pistons and rings, and of course the upgrading the fuel pump and injectors is a must and as for the ecu i would get a p28 ecu and have it chipped and tuned.

I'm guessing you're getting a smaller sized turbo. On 10psi you should be safe with stock internals as long as a compression test indicates that the engine is in good health.
However, as munkeewrench23 noted, you still need to upgrade your fuel system by getting a high flow fuel pump such as Walbro 255LPH, some bigger injectors, and a good tune.

how big of a turbo are you putting? i know that the td04h cant hold 10psi steady it tends to loose boost. what kit you plan on getting?

I wasn't sure since you quoted me. I'm doing a turbo project and going with a TD04-15B @ 10psi so it seemed like it was directed at me. lol.

So you have a CTR engine?
It should still be fine stock but it'll require some really good tuning because of the high compression.
