Default B20Z turbo advice

I know this topic has been discussed heavily on the internet but I have a B20Z motor in my EK coupe and I've been thinking about putting a turbo kit on it. I don't need advice on what all I will need cuz I've built a few turbo B series motors already. I've heard a lot of things about how the B20 has weak sleeves. Is there anyone on here that has a B20 turbo? If so how much boost is it running and how much power does it make?

I don't know about everyone else but I don't consider 9.6:1 compression to be high. Outlaw is that 15 psi on a stock motor?

Definitely not high compression wtf is he talking about. That's perfect for boost!

Even with high compression if its tuned right you can run some boost. Not 15psi probably, well maybe for a few seconds before the motor shits on itself.
