i wouldnt run larger injectors if you are going to run an fmu, which suck
id say go the uberdata route, you can chip your ecu for less than the price of an FMU and find a good basemap, or use someone else's bin that has a similar setup to you. check pgmfi, and homemadeturbo, and all those good places for these bins that people already made, and if you can find one near the specs of your kit that would be much safter until tuning than a gay FMU. also once you get the time or dough to get tuned, it will be much easier to upgrade, than starting fresh from the fmu.
just my 2 cents, and goodluck with the build...
oh and i didnt look to see what OBD you are, so if your still OBD-0 like me, then check out turbo-edit, good stuff, and free like uberdata

I'm trying to do a mini-me swap myself with a d16y7 dx bottom end and bought a sohc vtec motor(d16a1) then got the head and put it on the dx block but i find out the vtec solenoid is only one wire? and i look up the engine code and it comes from an integra and its DOHC NON-VTEC. anyone know what the hell kinda motor i bought? its palinly obvious a single came and obvious it has vtec... but yet the tranny says d16a1? someoen told me it was some rare jdm motor? anyone know?
LOL, I've found a guy who will get me the pm6 and burn me a basemap with turbo edit for 125.
I have everything in check I just gotta get me a damn turbo. What are some smaller sizes I can use?
I'm about to just use my 14b if I don't find something soon thier are some other guys with t25 b16's on the forum and they like it.

those are still pretty small, but i guess if thats all you got....
My suggestion would be if price is the ultimate deciding factor, and thats all you have.... sell that turbo, pick up a small t3 (like the one i have in my link in my sig, page 3) and use that with your setup until you can upgrade, that way you already have the t3 flange on the manifold and all you will have to do is upgrade the turbo and retune. Just my opinion because i was thinking of doing just that with my little dinky t3 until i can scrape up enough for a nice size t3/t4
