Default drag turbo kit questions

I have a 1990 hatch with a b18c swap. I am planning on boosting it, and i have pretty much decided on the drag turbo kit. The kit comes stock set at 7psi and that is what i plan on running it at. I am fairly new to turbos and i have few questions before i drop the money on this kit.

Which turbo would you suggest for a stock b18c?
T4e 60 Trim
T4e 57 Trim
To4b Super V Trim
To4b Super S Trim
What else will i need that does not come with the kit?
Will my stock injectors be fine at 7psi or will i need larger injectors?
Will i need a halfcore radiator?
The car is currently tuned using chrome. Will i need any other fuel management besides getting my ecu re-tuned for boost?
Will i have to shave the block to make the manifold fit?

Any input is welcome. If you would recomend a different kit in the same price range please tell me, and tell me why you would go with the kit you recomend over the drag kit. Thanks in advance.

I have part of a drag kit on mine. You won't need to shave the block if you go with a T3 turbo. Not sure about the T4, the compressor side looked kinda big and it would be a tight fit, so I didn't get it. I didn't want to shave anything.

Don't need a halfcore radiator. I'm still running stock.

Running @7psi on stock injectors, but if you already have a chipped ecu I'd get 310's or 440's. I want to say the stock fuel pump gets overworked past about 5psi, but I'm not sure what the exact number is. I'd upgrade, probably to a Walbro 190lph or something similar, depending on how far you want to go with this project. I'm running the 255 right now and it's overkill for my setup.
