i dont need a stand-alone... just for like 150-175 HP.
Anyone that runs any longer than 6 months with this kind of management on a turbo honda is a hack. Bigger injectors and a FMU is a band-aid on a gaping wound. These kinds of setups almost always run super-rich, hurting power and economy. If you want a reliable setup, you can limit boost and have a conservative tune with a Zdyne ECU, which is still a hell of a lot cheaper than Hondata, or most of the chipped ECU options, while still retaining reliability and easy driving.
