I wouldnt use any of those components. DSM parts wont be able to breathe at all on your motor. 450ccs wont get you far with a 2.3L either. SAFC is going to be the icing on the cake which blows your whole setup. Just my opinion though.

The Big 16g is the absolute smallest turbo i'd use on your H23. With that turbo, you're going to build boost VERY rapidly, then once your engine gets into the higher RPM range, the turbo wont be able to supply enough air and will rapidly fall off....IMO, get something a little larger and definately DO NOT use a 14b on your H23...that would be a terrible combination.

As for the rest of the setup, you can use the DSM BOV, but i would avoid using a VAFC for tuning. These days using a chipped ECU and a program like Crome is the only way to go. They're so cheap and effective that is almost stupid to do anything else.

That would work for you, but you're not going to have a lot of room to grow. You're also going to need a 3bar map sensor if you plan to make decent power with it.

As for the manifold, i would go with a tubular log manifold....

If you want really fast spool try a t3/t4 perhaps a .57 or .60 trim. You'll need at least a .63 exhaust on that motor though.
