vr interesting yet quite common project...
yeap, all the setup u mentioned feasible...
dont forget ur BOV... u need to stand out from the crowd and be noticed when u have a turbocharged engine... heck, even tiny L2s blowing their BOV a few times in a vr short stretch....
btw, ur car is svdo rite??... safc wouldnt be helpful here i guess.... couldnt think of alternative fuel computer now which can "piggyback" ur svdo, unless u willing to go for standalone ecus... hehe...
compression ratio... ahh... as we all know forced induction engines need low compression... perhaps u can source for thicker head gasket... of coz if its made of metal would be definitely better.....
as for ur fueling... i would recommend u to get uprated injectors such as mivec injectors.... good to upgrade throttle body as well if it is allowable (since urs is svdo, i dont have much info on upgrading it)... oopss....
i think ur oem fuel pump is manageable... get a fuel pressure regulator as well....
as for boost level, try be conservative and run it at lower boost for sometime and see whats what... if everything goes well, slowly increase ur boost level moderately...
bot 4g15 mmc quite alot and i would say rather easy project.... but svdo, i'm not sure...
Haha sifus in the house..Not very keen on the BOV sound,might find a way to vent the pressure back to the intercooler..thats still in consideration,but not important,as long as i vent it someway.yeap, all the setup u mentioned feasible...

Actually,why is it that SVDO is un-tuneable? piggybacks cant alter the signals or that the ecu will revert to standard tuning if the signals are not within its acceptable range?
Throttle body will remain stock for the moment.
Any idea about the rating on stock fuel pump and injectors? I have an idea how much i will be needing,i just dont know how much i have to begin with.

Which is why everything needs to be right!
