Default My planned turbo setup-help please?

Here is what I am planning to put in my 96 Integra LS this summer, assuming the GReddy kit is out for the LS by then:

-GReddy Turbo Kit
-GReddy Intercooler Type 24V
-GReddy Type S Blow-Off Valve
-GReddy PRofec B Boost Controller
-ACT Custom Performance Clutch
-Thermal 3" Catback Exhaust
-GReddy Turbo Timer

And GReddy Boost and EGT gauges.

If I were running at 7-8 psi, how much HP would I have at the wheels? 200? Is the Thermal a good turbo exhaust, and should I go for a APEX or GReddy turbo timer? I've seen this Blitz turbo timer AND boost controllers, are there worth it, or is Blitz a bad brand? Do I need to upgrade my ignitiong and fuel injection? Sorry for all the questions, just want to get my stuff in order. Thanks.

What prevents you from using the Civic Si kit on the LS ?

Probably because I never knew it was possible How is it possible? Does it require any modifying to the kit? Thanks for the info!

Everything should bolt up the same as far as I know. The only difference might be the length of the downpipe, but that is nothing a muffler shop could not fix (might bolt up perfect).

Thermal is the best, when you consider the top-notch quality, fit, sound, and price. I will never buy a exhaust made by a Japanese company, I'll either get Thermal or go custom.

Also, i would probably be better IC piping wise to get a GSR kit. They have the same turbo, and there arent really any differences other than the FCU and pipes.

SI piping is more similar to the LS than the GSR piping is because of the intake manifold placement...

Turbo timer is just a turbo timer.
boost controller is alittle more important but still just a boost controller.
Get the simple one that is not too hard to set.
Why not get a Drag turbo kit for ITR? or if you don't like the manifold then sell the manifold and get a better manifold. At least you have a better turbo and a better wastegate setup.

Yeah, I was gonna go with the GReddy kit b/c it was street legal, but now that I have discovered that it is not street legal once you do even add small mods to it, I might just go with the DRAG III.
