But, believe what you want.
I sure will, because I've been putting together engines for awhile and nothing you have said makes ANY sense to me.

Example.. why did you even get a twin charger setup? Choosing a good sized turbo for your application and with good tuning and supporting mods would have virtually eliminate turbo lag without the complexity of such a system. Not to mention the weight.

See here's what I see wrong. 1) you said you had a twincharger setup. This setup being complex would require a lot of work. But then you said your block is high mileage meaning you probably never built the engine for boost. I'm not too familiar with Honda blocks but I know the B series and K series all have open decks which is not suited for the stress of a turbo.

But you must have been putting down some serious power to go thru the trouble of doing something like that which means you rebuilt the engine. Which means it's virtually a new engine.

But then you tossed it in favor of a fresher engine which you rebuild... again?
