look in the tuning section on jbody and you can find the kit that everyone else uses 6 lbs. is good for any engine in good running order just do yourself a favor and be careful with the boost controller and boost creep... that'll kill ya..

id rethink the ebay turbo kit..even if it has a fmu....the parts are usually sub standard and you can get a better kit if you piece it together with high end parts. As for tuning scrap the fmu and go hpt. Try looking around the tuning section as mentioned and also boost questions are better awnsered in the boost section..phil
Hahn is good. Also, being that you have an Eco... GMPP makes a supercharger kit for your car. Some people are getting very good results from it.
Don't worry about the Eco handling boost. Just don't go crazy with it. Stock wise, the Eco can handle alot of abuse.
You don't need to tune anything with an FMU, that's the whole point of running an FMU. I also wouldn't worry about anything more expensive or involved than an FMU for only 6psi. Get the kit, be happy. What's going to break? The turbo? Who cares... the kit was so cheap you can get a real turbo and still be WELL under the price of a hahn kit.
