Default do i need an AFC to boost an 88-91 civic?

here is the story, i have been trying to sell my turbo kit for 3 months, and last week i got an 89 civic, 4door auto, its a dual point throttlebody 1.5L d15, all im looking to do is bolt this turbo kit to the civic, run the oil, coolant, and exhaust, buy the missing link, change out the FPR and install the 95 psi inline fuel pump, if i have to buy a SAFC it turns this project into a waist of money, but if i can drive the car on 4psi with no major problems i will be most happy guy on the block, let me know if im missing something.... im def. not a honda tuner!

Si convertion and then boost....keith is right 2 tiny injector's vs. boost=you run lean=you go BOOM!!! it has been done but if you want to boost an engine that wasnt ment to be boosted you need to get fuel to it...and stuff

the civic runns a 400 and a 200cc injector, and i can take out the 200cc, replace it with the 400cc and put an 800cc conquest injector in its place, or run two 400cc injectors, im not worried about running lean, as long as it runs i'll be happy, but i dont want to have to buy an AFC, so thats my real question....

i will post a pic of the turbo kit later tonight...

Those are some junk yard turbo kits, my car looks worse than most of those, but my turbo kits looks like it will be ALOT more effective, i guess im just going to put it all together and see if it will run without an AFC, i still have to take pics of the turbo kit to show you guys
