THere's only positive stuff about bosoting the h22.

Just get at least a stage 3 t3/t4 or a borgwarner rhb62. The usual junk yard T3's are too small.
Injector wize, forget about the DSM blue tops....you need 550 ccm minimum and you will almost max them out at 8-9 psi. Oh, and tune it with anything allowing to draw your own fuel and timing curves, such as uberdata or crome. No piggy back systems on this nice engine please!

cons:

if you really wana go big, you will have to resleeve. even if you dont go big, its good to relsleeve the block for reliability. FRM sleeves suxors. as long as you have a strong tune tho, you should be good for a while.

I have a set of 560cc evo injectors for sale.
Boosted H22's are awesome. Even cooler since it's in a hatch.

with a walbro 255 fuel pump, 450cc injectors max out near 300whp. I'm sure they'll be fine for your 5-6psi goals.
