Boost my C5?

I'm running a GSR head 5 angle valve job port and polish with everything in it redone. On a b18c5 block with stock itr pistons and rods.

I have all the parts needed to turbo it sitting in my garage, Literally everything. But i can't afford to go get it tuned if i put it on that's why i havn't put it on. Would it be safe to put it on and run a ebay turbo?

I have a garrett and a JDMSport turbo. I'm guessing JDM Sport is ebay? Can i run low psi ebay turbo no problem? Stock compression on USDM type R is 10.5 which i seen people turbo 10.5 all the time. Just wanting opinions...

Also all those Ram horn turbo manifolds do they sit the turbo further out from the block than the cast iron manifolds? I have a cast iron manifold but the turbo is to big for it like i have to cut pieces off the block to make it fit. Which i will not do to my b18c5 it's like my favorite part of the car. Lol

Spaced it out alittle bit so it ain't a wall of text. Don't want any comments saying you're a dumbass for wanting to boost a type R. I'm sorry it has a full built head and everything. I still want more power.... Also all the fuel stuff is upgraded it has fuel rail pressure regulator pump injectors etc.

J13 sooo mad
1. no do not put on any turbo and boost your car untuned
2. jdm sport is an off brand. you wouldnt need anything fancy for 400ish whp
3. once again, you cannot run any psi no problem unless youre tuned
4. ram horn manifolds position the turbo a little more differently than cast log manifold, and would probably sit a little further out on the head.
