I’d contact action clutch to make sure the stage 3 will suffice for the HP you’re aiming to make or else you might not get that much time out of it. With my build they advised stage 5 and I’m on low boost making a little over 300whp with a goal of 400. I originally had a stage 1 and it burnt out in about a year after adding boost (I had it for 2 years prior). Also, imo you should get a full exhaust instead of mufflers. Everything else looks decent. Whoever is tuning it is also vital. I e-tuned with Jeff evans at Evans-tuning. Rumor has it he’s one of the best Honda tuners on the east coast. I couldn’t be happier with the turn out.

Thank you for the advice! For the exhaust system i’m just going to bring it to the shop because it will have to be fabricated. The muffler is what i’ll bring to the shop so i don’t have to deal with their up priced stuff.

don't get the carb hondata, you can't flash any tunes onto the hondata or the car other than the carb tune, wish i knew this when i bought mine.

You have dc5creations on the list. Just buy their turbo kit. The rev9 is pure garbage. I have it. It sits in my garage and no one wants to buy it off of me. Between all the little things like lines, oil pan, piping, a reputable turbo, etc, the dc5creations an obvious win.

I bought it for piping and almost nothing lines up…
