So I got a 16g turbo with dsm manifold and top half of downpipe... custom bottom half... 2.5 inch intercooler piping... blitz bov... 450cc dsm injectors... 255 walbro... will only be running 5lbs... and will be having a street tune done... it will be on a f22a6 with h23 intake manifold... any recommendations or advice? This will be my first turbo car so I am trying to be very conservative with low boost and very mild tuning since it is automatic...

I would upgrade to an aftermarket transmission fluid cooler (Jegs and Summit have lots of them), and use a good performance synthetic fluid, such as Redline (this is the ONLY time I will ever suggest putting anything but Honda fluid in a Honda automatic transmission!)
Keep in mind that it's tricky to tune the ECU for an automatic, so be sure your tuner has experience and knows what he's doing for your specific application BEFORE you start installing parts. Otherwise, you might find yourself in quite a mess!
Make sure that motor is healthy before you boost it, and be prepared for it to blow up at any time. Even a healthy, well-tuned F22A can bust a ringland, even at low boost. It's going to happen sooner or later, so just be prepared. Either rebuild with forged internals before that happens, or get ready to drop another motor in there once it does!
Your planned setup sounds pretty decent, though. Done right, and done carefully, it should perform well.
