New Project...need advice!

I have a 1990 rx7 convertible. The stock 13b blew. So i bought a s5 turbo II, tranny, and ecu. I plan on doin the swap. so far i bought(keeping in mind i hadnt upgraded the turbo yet)

greddy BOV and boost controller
walbro 255 fuel pump
Apexi catback exhaust
Greddy eManage Fuel management ecu
greddy front mount and piping.

I plan on getting a bigger turbo but i havnt ported the motor yet. so wut would be a safe sizee turbo to throw on there. Im trying to reach around 340 hp.

i know once i get the turbo i need bigger injectors, and a regulator.
i got like $1500 more i can put into it.

dude? If I was you, I would do a stock swap first... just to make shure it runs right, and you didnt fuger anything up. Then, I would learn to drive with all that newfound power, and upgrade the suspension. AFTER that, I would maybe up the boost a little. And, when you feel like "Digging in" pull the motor apart, port it, get 3mm apex seals, and go for something like a GT35R BB unit. What size compressor housings and all that? Well, someone like Aaron Kake would know...

I think that you should have done more research. Also, why the Emanage? Great ECU, but you could have gotten a megasquirt which is a FULL standalone for like the same price, I think. ( < Double check on that one, this is a guess)

well i got the emanage ecu cuz my buddy has it and im familiar with it. plus he has the cd software already. anyways. i planned on doing the swap stock first and then adding on the other ****. the turbo II really isnt a lot of power compared to some cars i used to own. anyways thats besides the point. so u wouldnt recommend getting a bigger turbo unless i rip the motor apart and port it add bigger apex seals?
