Default low boost turbo with stock everything else

Ive thought about putting a turbo on my xa and not changing anything else except for adding a nitrous wet system without using the nitrous and adding a wideband to get it jetted properly. Im thinking that I can get the nitrous system to spray fuel when boost kicks in using a window switch. I only want about 2 psi at the most and am thinking the stock fuel system and ECM programming can handle that. Im not concerned about the cost as I have a couple of turbos laying around, one of which should do the trick. Got lots of extra piping and a couple of BOVs and can pick up a used FMIC cheap around here. Ill get a cheap manual boost controller to keep boost in check. Think of it like setting up a nitrous system but using turbo boost instead of nitrous for the oxygen enrichment.

So hit me with your thoughts, concerns, criticisms, or just plain flames.

Thanks!

Is 2psi even worth it? Aren't most low boost bolt on turbo setups around 10 PSI? It sounds like this may be alot of work for minimal gain.
