Default Integra turbo setup. Help

In a couple of weeks I plan to turbo the Integra and was wondering if this is a good setup? and opinions on what i can change or keep

Garrett Super 60 turbo(maybe)
440 cc injectors
turbo manifold/downpipe
BOV(not sure what kind)
FMIC
Aem fuel rails
Walbro 255 fuel pump
je forged pistons
eagle h beam rods
plus the other stuff i need but those are just the basics and I want to run about 9-10 lbs/boost and push about 210hp+

The fuel rail is unnecessary. You won't need internals for 210 whp. Save your money for other stuff.

What are you using for engine management? That is the most important part of any turbo setup.

Have you upgraded the clutch? How about exhaust?

well i was planning on using the AEM fuel management but pretty pricey,
depends, but i am buying a new clutch when it gets turboed, and exhaust is about 2 1/2 inches. The reason for internals is because i plan on turning the boost up to 15+ later on. I just want to be ready for the higher boost. For tuning, cant I just use the SAFC and have the pros do that for me?

talk to your tuner and see what they recommend you use for engine management. an safc wont cut it if you want the engine to last. if you're looking for big power go with a 3'' exhaust and bigger injectors.

i've heard of those before but never actually seen them in use.

Whats wrong with just getting it professionally done with the SAFC? My friends car had it tuned with that and it has been running fine on that alone.

because with an safc you are severly limited on your tune!! With Hondata or Chrome, your tuning parameters are much more broader, and they have a boost options so that you can tune a turbo set-up properly!! And your better of buy hondata or chrome now so that you already have the ability to tune for more HP later!!!

piggy backs like an safc only allow you to adjust fuel trim at certain rpm's. this has an impact on the ignition timing at the same time.

with crome or hondata you can tune each independantly to achieve a much safer and efficient tune.

for 210hp, all u need is turbo kit, boost controller and hondata, crome, etc to get it tuned.

with the mentioned accessory turbo parts, u would hope to achieve 300+hps.
