also i don't think the kit comes with injectors but j/c will bigger injectors on my stock motor be cool cuz mine are about to the point that i want to replace them anyways...

Thanks, man.
I wouldn't put larger injectors into your stock motor. You will run pig rich and the whole car will be boggy. Only put the larger injectors in when you have something to control them with, like Hondata or the EMS, like we have been talking about.
There is no reason to change out the injectors pre-turbo unless your stock ones are sticking or clogged past the point of cleaning. I had 130k miles on my stock ones when I changed them out, so I think yours are just fine.

truely i should exceed my original goals shortly after i get a ems and the turbo kit, my original goal was 350whp and i believe it to be more than possible...cuz i still intend to redo the internals and ignition system, plus more...
i think i've pretty much decided to start with the turbo kit, AEM ems, and 450cc injectors...cuz my friend has almost the identical set up i want and his car is freaking insane!

The stock ignition system should be fine for your power goals. When it has misfires under boost, close down the spark plug gap a bit. If that doesn't help, then you can upgrade the ignition system.
It sounds like you are heading in the right direction. As long as you don't skimp on engine management and fuel system upgrades, you will have a very solid and reliable setup.
