Default DECISION TIME! I need YOUR help!

I need some help/suggestions from you guys so here's my story

After finally having enough money for a turbo, i've decided that i'm purchasing my kit from Full-Race.com Some of you may know of them but from what i've seen, they produce some extraordinary products.

Here's my proposed setup:

Full Race Equal Length Manifold
Full Race "Back Door" Intercooler
Full Race Downpipe
Garrett T3/T60-1 or Garrett T4/T04E 60 Trim Turbo (Learning towards T3/T4 BALL BEARING but not sure on trim size)
Tial 40mm Wastegate (Which size?)
Tial 50mm Blow Off Valve (Which size?)
Aluminum Intercooler Piping
Full Race Oil Line Kit
Silicon Couplers/Hose Clamps

Other Mods would consist of:

Bosch Fuel Pump
RC 550cc Injectors
AEM Fuel Rail
AEM FPR
Hondata or AEM Engine Management (I'm torn between These two need help)
MSD Ignition

Due to the fact of the "back door" Intercooler setup I need a Fluidyne Radiator/FAL Fan from a 92-00 Civic. I have a 94-00 Integra Fluidyne Radiator and FAL Fan with 5K miles on them if anyone's willing to trade.

I plan on running this on stock internals for the time being at around 5 psi and later on rebuilding to around 9:1 compression hoping for 350-400whp. How much boost do you think it'll take to achieve these numbers?

Suggestions and comments more than welcome, since I plan on purchasing this Turbo kit within a few weeks.

I would get bigger injectors. 550cc is good for around 350 whp, but that is maxing them out. I would go 720cc. Also, why such low compression in the future? With 9:1 you car will be a snail off-boost. Why not stay with at least 10:1 and just run a little less boost and get a good tuner.

I wasn't exactly sure on compression but since you see all these stock turbo'ed cars such as Mitsubishi, Toyota with low compression I'm sure there was a reason such as easier tunability but not for sure. By the way I want to stay with satured injectors, do you know of anyone who makes them bigger than 550cc?

IMO i would recomend 9.5:1 - 10.0:1 compression if it's going to be a street car, thats just my oppinion though. I've had sorta low (9.2:1) cp and now have high (10.2:1).....both are fine, but the higher cp is more responsive

keep the suggestions rolling, every bit helps. By the way, with Hondata do I need to change any MAP sensors, or any other sensors to make everything work?

Stock map sensor will work up to 11psi, above that you'll need a 3 bar map sensor
