I agree with Deception. I have a 1052u and am running a serial gauge in the audio control button area and love it. Jeff Evans (highly recommend) set it up for a few different parameters. The 1052u will read boost and air/fuel ratio due to the built in wideband and in order to read oil pressure you will need to pick up a AEM Sensor kit 150psi AEM Part#30-2130-150. Under Jeffs instructions he recommends the stainless kit compare to the brass kit as it won't let and gives better, more accurate readings.
Agree with Moddiction with the ID1000's. Before I even had my kit install 2 Saturdays ago and picked up the ID1000's over the RC750cc that came with my kit. They give you a lot of head room and you idle just like stock. Hence way I put those and my gauges up for sale lol.
I agree with checking the banjo bolts on your AP1 (don't want to score a wall) and also I would pull the valve and cams and check your retainers to see if they are cracked or not. Don't want to drop a valve with the increase in pressure going through the engine with the blower.
I ended up having Billman (highly recommended) do an ap2 retainer/spring swap and adjustment while he was in there. My car was out of spec and only has 45500 at the time (46k now) so it's a good thing to have done prior.
Good luck.

You will need a different belt depending on the size of the pulley you get. You will also need an SOS or Hondata MAP sensor if you pan to run over 10 psi.

Clutch! I recommend the ACT, Get that installed before your supercharger
