But....if I was ever going to mod my Fit, first thing I would do is drop a k20 in there. By that time, in 4-5 years the mounts should be out by then.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Im not sure what you mean by the last comment, but the mounts are out. I have a set in stock right. If i can ever get off this dumb "ban status" trial mode, id PM you with the goods as well as show information regarding it.

Re: (SwiftTypeR)
[QUOTE=SwiftTypeR]Yea, but your probally only looking at a 25-30 whp gain with a SC. It is reliable, but you still have to tighten the belts every oil change etc. You still need a header + exhuast to get more whp out of a SC plus the necessary guages. Then, if you want to maximize the potential of the SC, you need to get it tuned. All of this is roughly $5k. People who think I'll bolt on a turbo or sc and won't have to worry about anything else is dead wrong. Their very costly and time extensive to gain their max potential. If I had to choose between a SC or turbo, I would go with turbo everytime.
Your roughly going to invest about the same amount of money, but with a turbo you know you can get more whp easily. With a SC, all you can do is raise the boost by 2 lbs with a smaller pulley and thats IT. If you have the money to do a SC set up, your going to thirst for more power in the future and want a Turbo.
You guys know my preference, swap. Stealthy, reliablie, fuel efficient and don't need to invest a ton of money on guages + tuning.[/QUOTE
I'm sure most of us fit owners could care less about running the 1/4 mi. I'd buy a bolt on SC kit for one reason... I wouldn't have to turn off the AC if I needed to pass somebody on the highway. 30HP would greatly improve overall driveability.. When you need some go power, it would be there. I could care less about max HP.
I might ****** up a SC kit when they come out.
