Default a few questions about going turbo on my 89 civic hatch with ZC someone please help me out...

Ok well as of right now i have a single ZC in a 89 civic hatch. for mods it has-
-chipped pm6 ecu (jun chip)
-b&m fuel pres. reg. and gauge
-intake
-headers
-2.25 exhaust piping with magnaflow muffler then 2.25 piping
-65 shot of dry nitrouse (zex)
-knock off ebay fuel rail (not installed yet)
-adj. cam gear (not installed yet
-msd spark plug wires
-lowerd with tein SS coilovers
-and some body mods

so basically right now i have a turbo sittin here i got from a guy online its a RHB5 and it has a HF mani with it and i have a down pipe i have to cut to fit my car. The turbo already has the adapter plate and it clears the block fine... I have my oil lines and now i have to buy my water lines... where should i tap my water lines at? i herd u can take it right from the radiator is that tru? i have a side mount dsm intercooler and i just orderd my piping the other day... basically my main questions are-

-what should i do about fuel?
-450cc blue top dsm injectors? how do i wire them?
-should i get uberdata,chrome? or what should i get and from where?
-should i get a FMU? if so what size?
well let me know what u think i should do about fuel thats what im worried about... i have a VAFC2 controller i can wire up and run so let me know what u think? please let me know asap so i can get this **** on thanks a lot....

1. Get rid of your generic ECU chip and get turboedit
2. You don't have to wire the injectors, just install them, you already have resistor boxes. You will have to shave down the grommets for them to fit in your fuel rail.
3.no
You'd be better off running the VAFC with the DSMs at low boost than buying an FMU.

no, they just plug in. I can also send you a basemap to tune off of.

TurboEdit is a program. Read that site thoroughly and you'll have a better idea about what you need to do.
