You would probably be fine with 5 or 6 lbs of boost, but may want change your head bolts, fuel pump, rising rate fuel pressure regulator and definitely a tune with wide band lambda sensor. You could get away with no intercooler, but it really helps reduce the intake charge temp and reduce detonation. oh, and retard your timing some.

If you go this far a small step up in the injectors would be a nice compliment.
