Calgary & Alberta Fit Owners?
Maybe call us the following Saturday and if Justin's install goes well we could have a look at yours.
Sunday I'm in the area and was planning to meet but the weather and lack of people now suggest we move it to the end of the month.

I know of only 1 guy on Beyond who has a NHBP LX like mine with rota slips, a drop and a spoon axle back.
we should just tag along with the Beyond meets on Wednesday nights at the Chinook. They wouldn't all be Fits but we'd have more enthusiasts un one place :P

It is funny how many people are torn between getting a Fit or a WRX. I almost bought a Saab 92X Turbo myself over the Fit. In the end it was the premium gas and insurance costs that won me over, that and the idea that an economy car could actually be pretty nice inside 
Seems like a lot of people are trading in the Fit lately on the forums.

lol I think we are pro star at doing that now haha! A lift would be best. To get access, you need to remove that black plastic panel underneath the engine. Also will need to remove passenger wheel. I'll see if I have time, my Fit needs to undergo some changes as well.

I heard the pulley is a pain to take off because it is so tight; needs a high power air impact guns apparently. Electric ones and breaker bars may not be enough 
No rush, I am trying to get my hands on a cat delete as well for install at the same time
mwwaahahaha!

Which test pipe are you gonna go with?!?!
BTW, I'll probably be doing some limited driving until I can get all my stuff installed and sorted out with the supercharger. In the meantime, my dad got a new toy...meet my Fits new roommate in the garage:

Hey Justin, any chance you have some time this week in the evening? I may need to borrow your fancy new scangauge to diagnose that CEL I am getting.... I have been tearing my eyes out trying to figure out how the Greddy can check engine codes.... and now I am starting to think it can't at all.

Yeah I'm available tomorrow if you want to meet up. Best if you can drive up to my place or meet me somewhere near my office and I can bring the Scangauge with me.

For JDMish
So basically I have this part done ... although I wonder if this is the same hole?
Any detail pics of the EGR unit floating around?
I ran mine with the EGR unbolted from the block, the hole in the block plugged with a plate, and the EGR bolted with a bracket above the header behind the intake manifold (so you can't see it) open to the air. Works fine and no MIL and if you play with them awhile to find the right FIT the stock wires have enough length you don't even have to add more wire to the stock ones. If you want to try it just clear your MIL then plug the EGR back into the original wires and just let it hang loose behind the intake and see if it works for you.
