man, look into swapping out that DPFI fuel setup to MPFI. You will be much happier and it will be a whole lot easier to tune and setup for FI.

it won't cost much at all. I picked up a setup for my Civic for about $70 (thats including the gasket, distributor, ecu, and complete manifold). hit the junkyards, and see if theres any there or see if anyones selling any in the "For sale" section here.
As far as installing it goes, it's not hard at all. A little bit of wiring but it can be done in a few hours tops. Heres a link that has alot of good info about the swap. http://www.fourthgenhatch.com/mpfi.html
the only reason I say do the swap is because that DPFI setup is going to be the only thing holding you back as far as fuel management goes when your turbocharged. Swapping to a MPFI setup will step up the power and acceleration and will give a noticable difference in NA, and it will be alot easier to tune and upgrade to larger injectors etc. for your turbo setup.

No problem. thats the beauty of an HMT custom kit. it can be as nice or as ghetto as you want it.
