Getting a new H22a and wondering about turbo
I did alot of research on this site by searching and everything. I don't have a lot of money but enough (I think) to get enough power. I am getting a JDM H22A motor from H-motors online and having a shop do the swap. Also w/ the swap they are doing the auto to manual conversion. In that process, I am getting new parts like new oem flywheel, excedy clutch, and skunk 2 intake manifold. Now I am guessing that this will put out 160-165 HP to the wheels. This is not enough at all. So no I would like to turbo, this is where my questions come in. I know the h22 isn't a great engine to turbo but for being 18 I am also on a budget. So I am planning to run 7psi max w/ everything stock besides the new parts.
Now here is a list of the turbo parts and I would just like to know if these sound good w/ a stock setup or bad. If it's bad please let me know what I should switch to.
Turbonetics T3/T04E .63 STG3/Wet/50 trim charger (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 )
OBX Racing Turbo manifold ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 )
OBX Turbo Intercooler 23"x11.75"x3" (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW )
Turbonetics Evolution 35mm External Wastegate kit (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 )
Greddy Type S BOV ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742 )
Those are the parts I will have to buy and the shop that is doing the swap will do the rest like the intercooler piping, downpipe, installing the boost controller, greddy e-manage, apexi vafc, and the whole install. So now please tell me if those parts I chose should be good enough for my desired HP of 250 HP. If not what will I need to do to achieve that HP. Thanks for helping guys, everyone directed me here cause you guys know everything so lets see if they were all right.

The H series motors are great for boost. Just a little FYI, all the OBX products are horseshit.

Re: (rhdune16)
Ditch the e-manage and vafc for some real fuel management (since your on a budget uberdata would be a good choice). For the intercooler a johnnyracecar or custom coach intercooler would work fine and be easy on the wallet. Any turbo manifold will work (log, tubular, equal length) it just depends on how much you want to spend.
