turbocharging 2000 civic lx for FE?

i have a few parts left over from my mustang 2.3 project upgrades and was thinking that since i went from about 15city/22hi-way n/a to 20city/30hi-way with conservative driving, whats left on the table for my civic? compression is 9.4:1 so boost would be 5-8psi max, and a boost referenced FPR to raise FP with boost to decrease chances of detonation. also to decrease pumping losses and increase power to the point that merging into hi-way traffic or passing wouldnt require more than 3/4 throttle. does anyone have any experience with d-series engines and turbocharging? i went to d-series.org, but the vast majority of the guys there could give a flip about FE and most are in it to make over 400hp and almost always give ricerish responses... i have started a thread after research ,but as i said most are in it for max hp. the parts i have are a .48AR t-3 turbo, manual boost controller, intercooler piping, and silicone adapters. i can make a log type turbo manifold from schedule 40 steam piping and pre cast steel weld ells, a laser cut head flange, and a laser cut turbo flange. i have made another one for my mustang with good results. any help or opinions are welcome and openly invited! thank you!
