300 - 400 is easily attainable with a decent build and reliable with great tuning!
It really seems to me that you are new to the high performance car world. I HIGHLY suggest you do A LOT of research about what you want to do. Putting time in and doing the research will ensure you build what you want and know what you are building and should be expecting. Honda-tech is a good place to learn!
Good Luck!
Oh and whoever said "extra air flow of the vtec screwing up the turbo"......... Just look how many 12,11,10,9,8, etc second LS turbo cars there are
In case you don't get the joke, slim to none!!!!!!!!

And contrary to what you may believe, I do know a bit about what I'm doing. I have an all motor LS setup in my car pictured above thats not tuned right now. It has a fresh machined block, micropolished crank, civic Si pistons, decked block, the head has crower stage 1 cams, crower valve springs, skunk2 adjustable cam gears, skunk2 intake mani, Injen intake, megan headers, open cat, exhaust, better wires and a blaster 2 coil with an msd ignition.
I never really finished the build because I started to drive the car before I could finish it. I never touched the fuel, I don't think that my MSD ignition kit is properly hooked up, and I have an OBD 1 ECU ready and waiting just never installed. If that would have gotten finished I would have tuned the thing and it would have possibly pushed 250hp. I just got caught up in other financial business and never finished. Now I want something faster and I was hopin for some opinions on where I should start. I don't know everything but I know enough.
Think the setup I have now is what I should stick with? tweak it maybe? Or go for something completely different?

^^I went like three months this summer with my DB2 just sitting. I had to get the damn engine harness cause its specific to the GSR. But she has been running strong since. Put about 8K miles already.
Nothing new to really report, painted my bumper lights amber, and clay barred my hood to get rid of the Milano Pink effect.

Lol...dude I just wanted to be sure. Some dude was tryin to tell me that you could get more power out of an LS turbo. I didn't know what to think when he said it to me.

It has a fresh machined block, micropolished crank, civic Si pistons, decked block, the head has crower stage 1 cams, crower valve springs, skunk2 adjustable cam gears, skunk2 intake mani, Injen intake, megan headers, open cat, exhaust, better wires and a blaster 2 coil with an msd ignition.

LoL Turbo LS cars don't make good power, if anything I would say the complete opposite in that Airflow is lacking in an LS head which causes HP numbers in Turbo LS to be low.
The Setup you have now seems like a good entry level one. You could throw some Crower Stage 3's in it and bump the compression up a point or so.

the reason folks go ls turbo cause compression is already at 9:1 stock no need to drop all you u have to do is build the bottomend and ur good to go and about 12 pounds of boost ecu and boost controller about 250-300hp u said u want DD thats all you need...and just to let you kno if you go cheap on a turbo kit it wont last for sh*t i dont kno what your budget is but turbo kit,build the bottom,good tunning and labor work ur looking at $4500 plus

why would you spend money on a header you are going to replace later? just use that money to help save for the turbo set up man!

ehh I personally really like the spoiler look on a DA. I have a DB2 spoiler right now and I got the Hiro for it functionality more than anything so it will only be on for shows and track days other than that it will be the DB2 spoiler.
And yes Mugen sides FTW!
