Default My engine build for turbo! Any thoughts?

I have a 92 civic HB. It was auto when i first bought it. I converted it to manual. I stripped everything out of it but i plan to fully strip everything and put in a cage and drive during summer since i also have my DD.

well followingis all done and already have. I still need to drop into civic i just waiting to clean out the garage so i can start working more! lol
D16z6 block w/ CP pistons with stock comp. w/+.020/.5mm bore
eagle rods h-beamsbore, hone and blue print block knife edge crank w/kms block guard d16y8 head ported and polished KMS ti retainers, kms racing valves and 3 or5 angle valve job on stock valves all new oem gaskets, bearings timing belt water and oil pump valve seat etc
garret turbo i bought from my friend its almost new he just upgraded for his dsm but its bigger than a 16g for sure. i have a pic if you want to let me know what you think. but the tuner said it should be good for 400-450 easily with revhard manifold

560 injectors with 255 walbro fuel pump

did auto to manual conversion so i have stiff hasport motor mount for tranny.. im using window weld for the motor mount and rear mount

rfl bov, hfmic 25x12x3 1/2 with 2 1/2 in and out, mishimoto radiator

stage 4 clutch

all new hoses intercooler piping all done 2 1/2 full exhaust no cat all way back

15'tires 155/60

what i still need to get is wastegate, downpipe for turbo and some few little things here and there. for tuning im going to be getting a p28 with hondata unit from a buddy. and that should be it for it to run.

interior i have tenzo buckets seats with 5 point racing harness, sparco steering wheel with detach. boost,water,oil, air/fuel gauge all mounted into passenger dash. fan switch. i also have nitrous from last setup im not sure if ill be using it or not. once garage is ready i plan to strip down to bare and start clean with this project.

any thoughts on this build so far would be nice. What do you think i should be able to hit once i go to dyno? Id love for this to be a DD for summer but id love to hit the 300 mark for when i go to the tracks. Actually ill post up pics asap i cant find the cord to my camera to put my pics up..

honestly iv gotten a really good deal. The turbo, injectors, fuel pump, radiator and new interooler to replace mine i got from a friend im going to pay him later on for like 400. the whole motor everything done and parts was 800 the car i had for a few years.. i originally bought the car for 300.00 running auto in great condition.. id say under 2,200 since iv had the car for about 4 years now.. but this is first built engine.. the last setup was a basic setup nothing done to engine..

hey ill get pics up asap... sorry about the wait.. im going to pick up hondata s200 right now. do you think hondata s200 the unit and wires, p28 ecu already chipped with hondata and the wire to go to labtop for 200.00 is a good deal? Iv never had a tuned car before besides running safc2.

i know tuning is the key along with other factors.. but from the sounds of it do you think 300 is achieveable or capable to hold that much? Do you think cp pistons with stock compression was good?
