You're kind of in a pickle there bud. The car is supported by FocusSport but the original owner gets tuning for life (AFAIK). If it's sold to you, you might be able to work something out with Randy at FS. I'm not sure if the free tuning carries over or not - if it does, that'd be sweet!
Stage 1 is 8PSI and no FMIC, so you're safe once tuned properly and the turbo will likely survive as long as the car does.
Here's the thing - I've discussed things at length with Vik at FS and the new kit comes with the braided SS return line (you no longer need to buy it as an immediate upgrade), so you might want to see if the braided line comes with the kit.
Also, for better reliability yet again, get the coolant lines upgrade pack that routes coolant to the turbo to better cool it.
If you do the datalogging via the XCal2 (hopefully that comes with it, too!), you can tune it 100% safe and 95% power remotely via Randy. That's going to require a wideband A/F meter too, however, to get all the parameters you'll need. FS has the Innovative LC-1 wideband - I'll be buying that in the spring or over the winter.
