wow you picked almost the exsact same set up i went with..... injectors i would go with a rc310cc

with the wastegate set a .5 bar you wont need a boost controller.. only need one if you are running like 15psi and want to adjust it to make the wastegate sound different... only REALLY need one internal wastegates

You wont need the SAFC if you are getting the Hondata system. The Hondata system does all of what the SAFC does and more.

true if you do convert to hondata it says to remove all electronic devices that can control the ecu :IE Vafc2 and so on

thanks for the input, if any other people have suggestions let me kno i need as much help as possible, i have an auto tranny which will be swapped to a 5 speed sometime around this winter at the same time the turbo system will be installed, the reason for the Apexi Safc was so that i could use it while the hondata system was not installed and i would be able to putt around town (not romping on it) just to get me places until i can get the car dynoed and tuned and the hondata system all hooked up and functioning. im looking to get somewhere in the 200hp range with stock internals (yes im going to get a very good tune, nothing cheap)


THANKS

I would have to say get it before, stick all the way, probably help to get all that power to the ground too.
