Default First time boosting a DC2.....what should I do?

Ok, I own a 97 Integra GSR...the engine is bone- stock with 63k miles. I want to turbocharge it, but I dont know how to go about it or what specific parts to use. I would like to use a T3/T4 hybrid turbo with .54 trim...someone else is telling me to use a .60 trim turbo. What would most of you recommend? I'm planning to buy everything myself and build my own kit, but I dont know what parts to buy. I was thinking about a Tial 35mm wastegate and GReddy blowoff valve and a Spearco intercooler using a RevHard manifold. I want to keep my AC/power steering also.

I also want to build up my block at least. What compression ratio should I run? Should I just keep the stock compression and run low boost or get low compression and run higher boost?

If I could get at least 300 hp at the wheels out of my car, i'll be happy..nothing too crazy like 380 hp as I do plan to drive my car everyday...it is my daily driver.

What would you recommend?

search is the best way to do it, you might not want to cut corners and get hondata or some sort of fuel management
