Cool Need help choosing what setup to use for ls/v boosted

I know many ppl run ls/v setups and have heard good things about them . I am going to be getting a decent amount of money soon and i believe i would like to build one. I have a jdm b18b swap right now with about 50k on it and would like to use this block for the build. I am just looking for some input from ppl who know what they are talking about. What would be the best head? internals for head and block? what tranny(heard b16 does work)? what tune? and what turbo and how many lbs? i know a decent amount just looking for some good input. thanks guys

Oh my..... Your tuner will do the tune and run how ever many lbs of boost he thinks is safe. As far as turbo, IMO I think its more of a preference, I like Precision Turbos. But since you're having to ask about this stuff I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't know too much about this stuff, like you think you do.

Why are the spark plugs, plug wires, and OEM oil filter on the mod list?

Why would those matter on a for sale thread?

Couple of things to consider:

1) Power goal
2) Fuel used (pump, race gas or E85)
3) Budget
4) Purpose of the car (DD, track whore or both)

All these are good determining factors of the outcome of your setup. After that, I'll go further.
