if you would like any advice from me. I would tell you to put pistons and rods in the bottom end before you boost it. Keep the compression stock. 9.2-9.6:1 is great c/r for a normal boosted engine.

Keep the boost low, around 7psi. Until you upgrade the injectors, and get some tuning.
Go with uberdata, or something light an inexpensive. Don't go for broke trying to squeeze as much hp as you can from it. Keep it simple. Dont use check valves or any garbage like that.

A good turbo to use is a t3/t4 .48 a/r on the exhaust. A 50 trim, or 57 trim works VERY well on D series Hondas. They will make a LOT of power on lower boost levels.

expect over 200whp very quickly with low amounts of boost. So be prepared.
