Default building a eg hatch b18 turbo, but im new to boost need some info please

i currently plan on building a b18 series honda engine with a b16 gsr head and swapping it into a 1992 honda civic hatchback. i am goin to have my engine sent to laskey racing for all of the following to be done.

Benson sleeved block
Benson balanced and micropolished crank
CP pistons and rings (prolly 9:1, possibly 9:7:1 im not sure what to use)
Pauter rods
ACL bearings
OEM (TypeR) oil pump
Lower gasket set
Blueprint and assembly
Boxing, return shipping and insurance

all this crap is gonna be crazy expensive like 3500 just for that but its guarenteed to withstand 50lbs of boost, and money is not gonna be an issue im gonna be saving up and building over a year or so

i used an online horsepower from boost calculator and figured around 200hp with 30lbs of boost will produce 600 hp, if yall wouldnt mind could you tell me all what else im gonna need to get, injector size, fuel pump size, cams, tuning/ecu? im pretty sure im gonna have to get a aftermarket crank too.

also i am probably gonna run around 10lbs of boost normally and just crank it up for the track, would i be able to do this or am i gonna have to have it tuned to run a certain psi all the time?

laskey and ebay turbo kits should not be in the same sentence!!!!!! if your going to build a block strong u should be looking more into a turbo kit from like full race or just piece your kit yourself and i would go with a 35R on a sleeved 84mm block if it were me. just my .02

if money is not an issue then go with a full race or peak boost kit. they're pretty much the same. i have a peak boost on a similar built b18c and make 410whp at 14psi. as far as injectors for 600whp you'll need 1000cc and if you have a vafc you can have 2 different boost settings. one for street and one for track. for cams when i had the stock itr cams it made 440whp at 15psi on a stock bottom end. for the fuel pump just get an aftermarket like walbro. make sure you get some engine management like hondata or something. also, is this a daily driver?
