Here's the deal....first off ditch the Greddy. The guys I run with have all gotten better results with their Turbonetics T3/T04E set up. Every EX that they have done has put at least 200HP to the wheels running 8 PSI of boost. All this was done on stock internals no additional fuel system mods. except an FMU. As far as completing the turbo you defintely want to get a boost controller, turbo timer, and an oil cooler. Don't get the hondata unit for tuning. Go with TEC3, Apex'i Power FC, or AEM. All those units have better tuning capabilites. If you then decide to get serious about raising boost you're going to have to do some serious internal mods, esp. the rods, and beef up the fuel sys. with a fuel rail, regulator, pump, and injectors. And I wouldn't bother wasting the money on an OBDII to OBDI conversion. OBDII can handle the turbo if it's tuned right.
And for the Header comment....that almost as funny as the Mustang GTR Spec. Ed. that had a rotary engine w/pistons. God love the guys at Teckademics.

the greddy kit comes with everything u need minus a Blow off valve and intercooler. people have run the blue box (stock greddy kit FMU) to about 11 psi (i run 8 psi with my blue box)
but if you want to boost higher, you should invest in the hondata for FI engines.
your list of parts would be great
but to even boost higher, you'd need better pistons, rods, and prolly have the block sleeved.
but remember you will have to get it tuned when running any fmu, except the blue box which was meant for that turbo kit

with an s100b hondata unit you can safely run 10 psi. if you want more tunability options, get an s200b

IMO if you want a true straight up bolt on kit, capable of getting your 200 WHP then get it.
if seems like you're not into building the engine up to support higher boost numbers so i would sugest keeping the blue box,
as far as tuning the hondata s200b is a great product but rather pricey, in the end you spend a couple hundred just on the fmu is you go with hondata do to the conversion harness needed, hondata itself, and someone to tune it
AEM EMS i would say the same thing, tuning = $$$
