So KW and HKS no longer make kits

I don't really like the greddy or T1r kits (probably don't make those anymore too). Us gd3 guys are pretty much left with having to fab our own kits? Or just try to extract every ounce of NA power possible with a small shot of nitrous for those special moments...

You 1st gen fits have hondata

Go tear up the road with a DIY turbo kit.

You will feel much better about your car when YOU built it, not some prefab kit

When you say DIY you mean ebay kit? Or is there a guide someone made on one

There are numerous guides.

Also the HKS kit is still available if you want to pay $3+K + install and tune.

You can contact user DiamondStarMonsters to help with a build consultation for a small fee.

Start looking, it's allll out there: Stainless T3 T4 Turbo turbocharger Manifold 07 08 Honda Fit Jazz GD3 L15A1 2WD | eBay

If I get the HKS I will install it myself, its plug n play. Thats what I like about the hks kit, wiring is simple and the oil feed to the turbo requires no tapping into the pan.

The tuning solution for the HKS is not that great though. The FlashPro is very superior. Also there are numerous quality type sandwich adapters you can use for oil lines...
