anything's possible, with enough money/time/labor/fabrication. theoreticaly, it's possible. wheather you can cram all that stuff in most Honda engine bays, doubtful, but possible with enough cutting.

you could but whats the point? itb's let the engine breathe and do wonders for n/a cars. because they have to suck air into the combustion chamber. if your forcing air into them it defeats the purpose. i could be wrong tho who knows.

I'm having a plenum made for my ITB's right now, goin turbo. The Skyline GT-R has ITB's with twin turbos, so apparently it's not a bad idea at all.

If you supercharge ITB's it will have to be using a centrifugal supercharger and the only one I know of that's available is Vortech.
