Default Boosting my fit

Hey guy's I have an old turbo (k03) in my shop and I own a fit (L15A) that isn't boosted... I came to the conclusion that the two must be put together. I have a few questions, looking at all the kits they don't seem to do anything for the brake booster on the back of the intake or the egr system on the front of the intake. Am I just overlooking something or are these ignored?

Secondly where do you get your oil feed from and do you drill into the pan for a return or is their one I can take advantage of?

Third, I noticed that the KWSC doesn't do anything for ignition why is this? Do our ECU's handle boost, or due to the low boost (5psi) of the KWSC, is adding enough fuel good for 5psi.

Lastly, tied to the third question, I would like to go piggy back as it would let my car run as I'm used to but allow for boost. I was leaning toward the emange ultimate as I seen aj-racings results, where can I get the base maps for this unit would anyone recommend anything else?

I sound like a noob and I am to the Honda world, I'm used to VW, the first car I boosted was a 90 VW golf, and learned a lot (read as: blown the engine a few times), then I went to a 1.8T jetta, but everything was easy on that car, simple turbo upgrades, and software flashes. The way I'd like to run my car is:

0-8months Low boost stock injectors, if I can get away from getting a piggy back I'm hoping for 130whp(~5psi), if I need to get a piggy back I'd like 150whp (~6psi).

8-24months, 330cc injectors high boost (10psi), I'm hoping to get at least 180whp+ but this is far in the future

The turbo I am using is a k03 (close to a t25) In the next few weeks I'm hoping to fab an exhaust and a intercooler set-up (you'll have to wait for the pics of this as what I'm thinking of is really wild).

Oh well I'm rambling, if anyone has the answers to my questions or a link of where I can find them that would be great Thank in advance!!

Id Like to give you some ideas but im unsure of the engine that comes in the fits.

Is it the SOHC 1.5l (d15 or d16) im not sure. Fo those years of the fits goto hondata.com and check if they have a computer system that will work for the fits they have nice stuff

E-manage i heard works but nobody seems to use it because there are so many better ECU s available for hondas and if you plan on putting down 180whp i woulnt run piggy back. post the engine specs and what motor is in it for us!

I would also like to know if a L15A vtec can be boosted and also want to know if the standard ECU will run this engine without a transmission.
eg Out of the car and in an aircraft with all of the standard sensors and manifolds.

Can you beat kids on a bicycle in the 1/4 now? Haha, I guess to each his own and if I owned a Fit I'd do the same.
