I believe that the Greddy kits for the Teg and Civic SI did come with bigger injectors and a blue or black "box". I don't exactly know how he Greddy controls fuel, maybe the people over at the FI forum on
www.honda-tech.com can help.
with the wastegate, You can use an Electronic Boost Controller (EBC) to raise the boost past what the WG spring is set for. ie. the WG is set for 5 PSI, you use the EBC to raise it up to 8 PSI. I've read that internal WG's aren't very good for high boost 10-15+ PSI. I believe Dr James posted in a thread a while ago about how to change the internal WG to an external WG.

Im sure i'll just wait to see how everyone rates the greddy, and if its just phenomenal, then i'll get it, but if its a little more performance than the f-max, ill be glad to know that i can easily increase the performance of my f-max... right? and I can be happy knowing that i saved at least a grand, right? since the greddy kit w/out an intercooler is as much as the total f-max....

You are right when you say that you will save money with the FMAX. You can take the extra money you saved with the FMAX and put it towards a better fuel management system. BTW I think you can ask FMAX to leave out the MF2 (AIC) and save yourself some money, I know a few members ave done it. You can also ask for specific turbo specs with FMAX instead of just getting the same one everyone else will get (Greddy). since you're in TX it might be a good idea to go to
www.NTPOG.com and ask around to see if there are any helpful shops near your area than can help you with a custom turbo and even do an install for you. NTPOG (North Texas Prelude Owners Group has a forum in this site too so you can ask them some questions.
