LSVtec is a GSR/Type R wanna be. b20's were never ment to be vtec, so its another hybrid. GSR/Type R/b16 were all designed to have vtec, and rev higher, so they have additional things built into them to handle it. Personally if i had the chance to pick up that motor, i'd be camping outside the guys house till he's ready to sell it to me, and knocking out anyone else trying to buy it. haha

Since you are planning to go all out a good place to start would be at machine shop. I would recommend gord bush. Get the block sleeved with darton sleeves. Find some forged low compression pistons/rods, get everything assembled including clutch and crank pulley and let a machine shop balance the whole rotating assembly.
For head, I wouldn't worry about it too much, its not as important to do as if you were to go NA. Stock cams or typeR cams will be just fine. Should also clay the motor if you do end up going with bigger cams. Though should look into the cams specifically designed for forced induction.
Other than that, doing all the seals/gaskets should obviously be done. For turbo, it depends where you want it to spool? Lower rpm and reach close to peek by the top of rpm band or you want it to spool later and stop at rev limit wanting more? Find some compression maps of different turbos and you'll be able to figure out what size turbo will work best for you.
