Default plz help on d16 schwitzer turbo setup

Hey again guys, well so far i've bought my mani for my Schwitzer turbo that is AC compatible for my d16.
I'm on here to ask you guys what parts i need to get and run safetly to get my setup on my car and rolling.
I'm only looking to boost about 8 PSI because i'm on an all stock engine, would i need an intercooler right now to run that much boost?
Eventually i'm going to get one even if not needed, because i'm going to eventually need it (if i dont now) and i like the way it looks.
If i can get away without it for now safetly just to get the kit installed on my car i will do it.
So i am here asking if that's possible, and if so what parts i would need to get to get it my kit installed?
Ofcourse i need an oil line kit, piping, wastegate, and blow off valve.
Could i run stock injectors, stock ECU, fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator for now, or would that be stuff you guys recommend right away?
Please if you could give me a list of what to buy now to finish my setup and get it installed..?
thanks guys i appreciate the help!

it is recommended that you use an intercooler for 7 psi or more boost.

you will need the following:
larger injectors with a custom tune. injector size depends on power goals
purchase a replacement 1:1 boost reference fuel pressure regulator. (this will replace the stock fpr. this is not an fmu).
boost/vacuum gauge
wideband o2 and gauge
gauge pod
misc vacuum line
misc silicon couplers and reducers for piping
misc fuel/oil/vacuum fittings
turbo
wastegate(if not using an internal wastegate turbo)
bov
universal set or bolt on set of intercooler piping
universal or bolt on intercooler.
wastegate flanges
bov flange
downpipe
o2 sensor bungs (minimum of 2 for gauge and ecm)
exhaust hangers
exhaust wrap
exhaust clamps/v band

Whats up guys?
Ok, so i've gotten a few more parts for my setup, now i'm looking into what to get next.
If someone could read what's quoted above and give me some more answers i would greatly appreciate it.
Also from the place i'm getting my chipped ECU, they are going to program it by what mods i have done to my car, so is this good enough for now to drive it until i can get a real tune from the shop?
My buddy has a boosted F22 accord, and he's been driving his car with just the chipped ECU - no tune.
If it's possible without messing anything up, i will do it just until i can get it done.
Let me know your opinions.
Can i keep my fogs somehow aswell?
I have a 96 civic coupe..

Thanks a lot!!

exhaust hangers (what for?) if you going to a larger exhaust or muffler

exhaust wrap (for header?) keeps the engine compartment temp down

exhaust clamps/v band (for what?) also what is vband?
vband is a clamping system that easily allows for quick removal. a high strength clamp holds two rings together and makes a tight seal.

you can drive on that chipped ecu yes. alot of times theyll set the tune alittle richer.
forget the header wrap
forget exhaust hangers. no point of buying crap you dont need.
vband clamp isnt necessary unless you really want it.
02 bungs are for the wideband and o2 sensor to thread into.
you do not need a aftermarket fpr. for 8 psi
