I just ordered a greddy turbo kit for my car. I also ordered a greddy bov. I had a zex kit on my car, so I had a few mods already installed. I keep hearing, I should be run bigger injectors and a aftermarket fuel pump. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am running a Greddy turbo kit on my car. Here is a little about my experience.
I have a 1.6 SOHC Vtec motor by the way, the same that is in the civic EX.
I installed the kit and fuel control computer that came with the kit with no trouble at all. Make sure the oil return bun is welded to the oil pan or it will leak. Also make sure the oil return line doesn't get kinked as mine did causing the turbo to get extremely hot.
Second, defenately upgrade your fuel system, your check engine light is going to come on regardless of Greddy's claims that the FCU included in the kit will eliminate this. I went with a BBK fuel pump, B&M fuel flow modifier, Venom Injectors and an aem fuel rail.
I would also recommend upgrading your pistons as mine cracked after a month under boost. I went with arias forged low compression pistons and total seal rings. Also went with a Greddy 2mm head gasket to lower compression further. This is expensive to do but will save you tons of cash in the long run. So far (it's been a few months) I haven't had any further problems.
oh, I'm also running a VAFC to fine tune the fuel mixture, defenately worth the 300$ I picked it up for.
