Default turbo '89?

im faced with a dilema wether to swap motors or go turbo on the current motor. its a '96 sohc 1.6 non-vtec in a '89 4-door running the original ODB-0 ECU and intake manifold.

as i am to understand this fuel injection system is pretty primitive and i cant flash the chip or swap it out to run a turbo fuel map. can i just increase the fuel pressure with a boost dependant AFPR and just tune it with a a/f guage until i get it right, maybe put bigger injectors inplace of these? i can retard the ignition timing on the distributor right? i dont want to run insane boost, 6-8 psi max. just something that pulls better than b18s.

this seems like a more viable option than $3000 worth of integra parts grafted onto this front clip. what u guys think?
