WY N/a turbo question!!!

Ok first lets start with I KNOW turbo swap convos have been covered alot....
How ever seems like people running boost and to run like 10 pounds of boost for dragging or what not.
but i want to run like five pounds of boost just enough to keep up rpm and during a drift dont need crazy part breaking boost just enough to give it a little kick
I am thinking turbo ...well cuz i have a turbo setup
A guy i know said running like five lbs on a throw on set up shouldnt hurt
I did read that fuel cut with stock ecu and injectors nthe rear rotor happens at 8 lbs of boost? Can i just slap on 5 lbs on a custom stock exhaust manifold run down like a dirty honda ?
Car info
88 rx7 fc
13b n/a
intake and exhaust done
motor in fairly good shape
only paid 300 for the car found on a farm
THIS IS ONLY A DRIFT CAR dont even have plates on it for street driving.

If your intention is to create another blown rotary engine to give them a bad name: go for it.

An NA ECU and sensors are in no way capable of controlling fuel and timing once it goes into boost. The MAP sensor doesn't even read beyond atmospheric pressure. High compression turbo setups require careful tuning.
