No unless you want to blow your motor then yes.

fuel cell? no. along with what 480sx said, you can get a walbro 255lph fuel pump for a safe upgrade. no ecu upgrade is needed unless you want bigger injectors

i have a walbro 255lph, rrfpr similar to fmu, stock injectors and maf and im running like 6-10psi daily. safe enough. how many miles on your motor?

Do exactly what i said to do and change your engine oil frequently for the first 150 miles.

EDIT - Try to keep out of boost as much as possible. Boosting on fresh rings sends excess blowby (unburnt fuel) into the crank case. Fuel in the oil is BAD. REALLY bad. There is nothing that destroys a motor quite as badly as excess(over 2%) fuel in the oil. If your oil smells like fuel, change it.
