Do some searches. You obvious don't know what you are talking about. Your set up is uberdata, hondata, and vafc? Why would you need 3 engine management?

Sounds like he knows what he is talking about but doesnt know what he is actually doing. Yeah do some research tho, i think it would be alright as long as you get it tuned right.

Having boosted a B16a1 at 0.5 bar my self i would not reconmend it. It was safey tuned, no det but when i fitted my forged internals every stock piston had the ring lands completly broken off.
IMO its just not worth boosting a stock engine, you will get gready and want more boost and it will end in tears when you have spend a lot of money and will have another blown motor.
Either rebuild the B20 and go all motor or build a B16 turbo but dont keep it stock.
I got some brand new arias 9:1 pistons off here for only $300 (inc shiping to the uk) and at that price there is no excuse not to.

You can't just assume it'll be a disaster based on what you said...I mean it comes down to your tuning that's all. Get that setup and tune it and I guarantee it won't become a "disaster". It's been done a thousand times
