By low boost, he means a kit that is pre-set (wastegated) down to probably like 6-8 lbs, at which point your engine can 'get by' usually w/o major mods to fuel & tuning (most low boost kits have 'band-aid tuning measures' to prevent leaning / detonation. By high boost, the kit will again be set to achieve a higher level (guessing 10+ lbs) and will certainly require significant upgrades...like he hinted at 440cc injectors, better fuel pump, better tuning equipment, etc.
Which one is for you? How much $ do you have? And what are your intentions? The low boost kit is what I'd be looking for...a decent upgrade in power w/o having to go all out w/ internal engine work and lots of high-end parts.
We will be making a low boost kit and we will be hitting the dyno after the Super Street Time Attack on Nov 8th. We are expecting to see some serious reliable hp gains.
We are getting some 440cc and high pressure fuel pump + some tuning so a HIGH BOOST kit will be available in the future
The low boost kit would come with the FMIC also. With our experience in the car industry, no matter how much boost you run, no matter what size turbo, it is ALWAYS best to have a FMIC. It doesn't matter if it's to add power or to actually cool down the turbo, the intercooler is a must have item.

Great idea with the wideband o2 bung.
Id like to see how well the Fits motor can stand high boost. You all do realize that adding this turbo kit will lead to a slipping clutch soon?

An upgraded clutch kit would be suggested.
IMO, the stock should be able to hold the low boost setup but for high boost, a higher grip clutch and LSD will help a lot in power transfer and traction.

hey man there will be cat unless you remeove yours, the piping you see in the photo is downpipe which runs from the turbo to the cat, so unless you remove your cat there will be no cat loss. It isnt a b pipe its down pipe.
the cat isnt down below in the fit, its part of the header basically. the pipe shown will replace the cat entirely. you are thinking about a down pipe on a vehicle like an EG that has the cat below between the header and b-pipe. this is definitely a cat-delete turbo kit.
also are you guys gonna answer the question about the auto vs manual?

The cat is not part of the header per say but you are right. Here is the header and cat from my USDM 07 Fit. As you can see the cat and the header are 2 separate parts. But for a side by side look you are absolutely right it would eliminate the cat
Scary that they would miss something that big, but isn't that the way it always is when concentrating on the small details to overlook the big ones.
Perhaps the thought the other large chamber that is after the cat was the cat. I still don't know what it is. Both the cd manual and the 07 Fit shop manual show the thing between the cat and the muffler but neither one says what it is.
Does anyone know what it is called ? Is that a catback ?

I already removed my cat when I installed the OBX Headers and I live in the sticks where they don't have smog tests so it could work for me like it is.
But unless there's a big difference in price between with a cat and without one it would be better to have a high flow cat if for no other reason than resale value and just in case I moved to where they do have smog tests.
I seem to recall some on eBay for under $100. But I wont swear to it off hand. It should be part of the kit if it's going to be a bolt on kit. Perhaps they could offer 2 kits one like they have it now and one with a high flow cat if the cat is going to raise the price much.
Just an idea.

I doubt they would miss something like that.. It's hard to get anything CARB Certified, so maybe it's not meant to be legal. Offroad use only, you know what I mean
He's right
