looking to turbo

hey whats up everyone.. ive been trolling these boards for a while. a little bit about myself is a i have a 97 civic hatch with a b16. its not super fast, but its a fun dd. anyway, i just bought my fit S and am looking to boost it. After reading about the t1r and the hks and greddy kits, im kinda lost as to what to get so...

what kit would be best for daily driving? i like to drive it hard too

also do any of the kits have reliability issues?

i was planning on getting a rev limiter installed so there wouldnt be any chance of over-revving.

also, i was wondering about this rumor i hear...do the fits really get better gas mileage after being turbod?

not many people have turbos in their fits yet and the ones that do havent had them on for more than a month or two. there have been people that have blown a few k20's in fits but nothing really FI related. its too early to ask a question like that.

wow i was expecting more people to have turbos on the fits. they have been out for atleast a lil over a year. i am ready to get rid of my civic and get a turbo fit. i just would hate to blow the motor because the fuel management sucks

you cant blame the fuel management for the problems. blame the tuner. getting a good tuner and telling them that it is a DD is the key.

yeah im definitly looking for a conservative tune. not something where the afr can go nuts just from downshifting.
