i'd skip the ignition and save up some cash and get bigger injectors and a standalone.

The stock honda ignition is pretty awesome. It will work fine for your application. Personally id save up for injectors and a standalone (hondata or aem ems). Id recommend the hondata for ease of use and cost.

i m running 5psi low boost and 8psi high boost(engine has 73xxx miles on it). i will be installing the 8 ga wire from home depot asap(ground wires, less then $2.00), i hope they can help a little. but seriouly, what else do i have to upgrade? what about things such as changing gaskets, timing belts, or some other stuff that might be wored out from the boost?
