a decent sized t3 will work well for you, but for that amount of boost an fmu isnt your best bet...try an afc and 450 injectors

You need to go to Honda Tech and ask that question, they'll tell you everything you need to know. But my best guess for your setup would be like a T04E something with a .84 compressor and a 1.50 or higher turbine (exhaust) Intercoolers are really optional but an FMU is really all you need for fuel management. Stock Honda injectors are really good for turbocharged vehicles.

I didn't read the FAQ either but do exactly this and you'll get the power your looking for

Also, you can use your factory exhaust manifold. And the holes in the turbo that have threads in them, they're just for looks, put a peice of gum, or something else putty-like in it to make sure nothing falls into it. - Matt

Re:turbo setup
 
you guys are crazy :D get a big t3 or t3/t4 and at least a fmu and fuel pump. id rather get the afc with 450 injectors.....a turbo timer is not necesarily needed, just let the engine cool down before turning off the ignition and a boost controller is not needed either....do some more research and you will answer many of your own questions...
