I don't know about turbo w/ auto tranny--like raiden571 said, watch out for it over heating, as that transmission was only ever intended for that stock d-series-manual tranny pretty much eliminates this problem, but I'm assuming that that's out of your price range-
turbo is the main critical part--don't cheap out, if you have to spend a little money with it, good-it will last you longer.
Tuning is the next thing that should be on your list-
http://www.hondata.com/s200.html
again, spend a few dollars more to build it, and you'll drive it thousands of miles more...dyno time is about 1-2 hours with hondata, so about 200ish for dyno time, and treat you tuner to lunch for a pro rated tune price...using a real tuning set-up will allow you to get some surprising numbers because you're actualy applying a fuel map to the ECU, rather than trying to trick the computer into thinking that everything is running ok; when, in actuality, you are only blinding the factory ECU from seeing high fuel pressure, high intake manifold pressure, and elevated temperatures--(lots of others, but I'll stop here)
why not allow the computer to "see" and understand all of these things that are going on, rather than fooling it into thinking everything is a-ok...you car will run like a factory built turbo car--smooooth...

spend a few extra dollars on this end of the project to save alot on the other, know what I mean?
and I think you can re-use the skunk intake manifold--someone help me out here...I bareley know my b-series...

Some CROME and Uberdata aren't a "real tuning setup"?
