You'll want some gauges (boost, air/fuel, oil pressure) and you will need to get it tuned. Perhaps someone else with more boost experience can chime in.

you'll need a 255lph fuel pump, at least 450cc injectors, 1 step colder spark plugs, oil pan gasket (for when you remove the oil pan to weld in the return line fitting), vacuum lines and tee's.

^ +oil lines/coolant lines. boost controller [highly recommended but not an absolute need], upgraded clutch if yours is stock.

^Kit says it comes with full oiling system, but not sure if that includes everything...

Let's not forget the most important component: chipped ecu for tuning.

Ops, missed that.

piecing together a kit IMO is better, but that's if you know what you are doing. that way you get the exact parts you want rather than whatever comes in a kit.

Exclamation

Tuning is VERY key!
Make sure you do a full tune-up.
And it's always best to purchase something like this from someone who is local just incase something happens. Ex. It's install day and they sent the wrong part etc etc.

P.S. just get the car tuned for one set PSI ( less headaches )
If you want something adjustable you have to do it right and do your homework....

an engine on your civic,
manual transmission
a work shop
tools
patience
resurface flywheel for that expensive clutch
spare spark plugs
catch can,
decent radiator,
oil , mtf
I'd use a aftermarket fpr but some use stock,
probably a compression test for ur stock block...
