Rear mount on stock 5.3l

I have a stock silverado . I'm looking to do a rear mount turbo with a fmic. My question is what will I have to do to the motor to run about 10 psi boost. This is for a daily driver and I won't be running that much boost all the time. Thanks for the help in advance. Also I'm probably going to piece together my own kit what kind of oil pump are you guys using. And what size injectors will I need, I was looking at 60's

What do you guys think a 60mm turbo would do on a stock 5.3 ?

I don't have a turbo yet but I'm trying to figure out if a 60mm turbo would be enough to give me about 8 psi boost ?

I had an STS kit on my Avalance(5.3l) with a GT35 ball bearing turbo that I ran at 7psi on low boost and 12psi on high boost with meth injection.

I still had the stock exhaust manifolds and cats on the car. If I remember correct I was around 360ish rwhp on low boost. It was almost six years ago and my memory is failing. Pretty soon I'm going to be drooling on myself going vroom vroom and powershifting in my rocking chair...
