krwheeler85,
If you are going to rebuild the D-engine, you might as well shoot for higher boost goal. I dont see the point of rebuilding it and not boost high. I'm running 10psi on stock internals with no problems. My advice for you is to focus on building the bottom end. I wouldnt mess with the head or valve train work until you completed what you want to do on the bottom end. However, you should concentrate on maybe getting an aftermarket IM, if you wish to further your set-up potential/efficiency. Dont worry about the cam gear and camshaft, unless you get a turbo cam-shaft. Stock Honda heads are efficient as is, even on force induction believe it or not.

T3T04e are big turbos. I think it's too big for a D16 for street uses. I guess you can get a 50T and 48 A/R which I think will be the best flowing T3T04e for a D-engine, while trying to hit max boost set-point before achieving engine redline.

Goodluck on your project and keep us posted!
