Default B16 turbo setup?

I've got a 99 Civic Si that stock for the most part under the hood, with the exeption of a few mods:
Type R intake cam from Integra type R
Type R exhaust cam from Civic type R
AEM cam gears, and the timing is a little retarded to make up for the difference in cam sizes
AEM short ram intake
HKS catback 2" exhaust
Apex'i V-AFC

I'm saving up right now for a turbonetics T3/T4 turbo kit with a spearco i/c. I'm somewhat new to the world of sport compacts, so I'm asking you guys what sort of upgrades I should get on the motor with the most bang for the buck. With this current setup, what else would go best with it? What's a good ignition, and what size injectors should I get? Or should I get a new ECU first?

mmm for turbo, people usually change out the pistons and get it sleeved for lower compression.. you might want to do that... i think!?

oh ya go for 580+ injectors for turbo... right HT?!

I'd love to get new internals and build my motor up, but $$ is a big issue for me there. I'll already be spending enough on the turbo kit, I don't have a grand+ to spend on pistons and sleeves. Would getting a better head gasket make a difference performance wise?

i dont know about 580+ injectors not sayin that its not wise you can go with that too but even if you have 450cc injectors you would be good you have the same set up as me you know the size of your turbo you going to get a big one or small one? i would deffinitly get your block resleeved and what kinda of ecu do you have im guessing maybe a p28? i would just get it chipped cuz i have mine chipped with vtec controller. are you making a homemade turbo kit?
