So guys I've been thinking about doing the swap too but I have some questions that still linger in my head. Alright which way in you guys' opinion would be great, ITB the K20 swap or turbo it or do both? The Fit is my dd and I know cali has some stinking rules about how loud a car can be. So what do you guys think? Thanks
Your engine will be a goner in about a month's worth of driving in LA if you ran ITBs. It's too dirty down here in SoCal to run ITB's as a daily driver.
Turbo K20 would be cool, but if it's your daily driver, wouldn't be a b**ch to drive around in LA traffic? If I were you, I would swap a K20 and just leave it as that.
Oh, and you can't run ITB's on a turbo set up. Or at least, I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing and know what's at risk. As cool as ITBs are, there is really no justification for them to be on any car that is driven on the road daily. There's too much involved to make it worth it.

just subscribing to this thread. really good info in here. heres something to think about when thinking about a kswap. stock internals can handle 40+ lbs of boost before it blows. pretty crazy.
