Default sohc vtec + Boost ? = help

i just bought my first honda. its fun, but its slow. I want a revhard turbo kit, stage II. Yet, i dont have the cash to dump into internals. A new headgasket probably,but to rip apart the block, nope. So i have to stick with stock internals. So how much boost can i safely run with my civic. It is a vtec, so i'm assuming it will hold its own for some time. It needs to be safe and last a while casue its going to be a daily driver, highschool n shit. any help would be awesome-- oh the car has 60k on it, no mods at all and manual(of course)
