Looking for a turbo kit and have some question

Getting a bit bored and decided to boost my Honda Fit GD. Here are my three main questions. From there I will do some more research.

1) Who makes a turbo kit for the GD Fit?
2) Who is CARB Legal?
3) Which kit allows me to retain my fog lights?

1)greddy, HKS, T1R are the 3 main ones. U can also build a turbo kit like a couple of us have done (including me)
2)Greddy and HKS are the only street legal ones that have CARB stickers.
3) so far, only the Greddy one will keep ur stock foglights, other then building ur own kit of course:


built my own kit and got to keep foglights.

t1r is discontinued.

only turbo kits are made by:
1. hks - carb legal. good kit. have to loose fog lights. hks engine managment is a PITA to get tuned. their oil drain system sucks.
2. greddy - carb legal. greddy emanage ultimate blows. not much else to say about this kit. i think their oil drain system is the same as hks though...sucks.
3. top fuel japan - most expensive out of the three. non-intercooled kit. not carb legal.

Thanks guys those are the answer I am looking for. Sucks how the HKS kit does not allow you keep the fog lights. Sound like some cutting and mandrel bending should do

Another question if I ever do built my own kit where did you guys pick up the manifold from? Who makes them?
