Default Planning a turbo project

I want a mild turbo setup on my b18b with around 275-300whp and be ABLE to rev to 8k. This is my only car and I drive it daily. Right now, I just want to prep for turbo, then bolt on the turbo when I have the funds. I am unsure about the brands of parts I am going with.

First off, I want to rebuild the bottom end with aftermarket rods, head & rod bolts and pistons with a stock compression ratio. I am not going to sleeve it b/c if I like this turbo stuff I'm going all out later on when I have more money.

Since I want to go stock 81mm bore, will I have to get oversized pistons like 81.5mm b/c of cylinder wear after 140,xxx miles on the engine?

I will upgrade the valve springs and retainers and thats it right now for the head.

For fuel management I was looking at hondata and I am still kinda clueless as to which chip I will want to run. Bigger injectors and ignition system will also be upgraded with the rebuild before turbo.

Is there anything I am overlooking so far? Sorry for being a n00b.

how about more fuel. Pump, reg, rail?
Or ignition, wires, cap, coil, plugs
