ITBs caught my interest since they sound epic and look awesome and I think its a mod which would make my car stand out from others. But thanks a bunch for the info. Maybe for now I'm better of making some smaller mods till I figure out exactly what I want to do. I was so close to buying the injen CAI the other day but the idea of hydro lock kind of freaked me out since here in Perth I have driven into deep puddles on many occasions and I dont imagine a SRI would be the best option for summer :P

Watch some you tube videos before you make your decision. For 5k, You can build a k20/24 beast that will outperform your K20 ITB. Also will spook fair few turbo cars.

I have been using Injen for fair bit of time....talking about years now. Driven over puddles that have made my heart race. Haven't been hydro locked once.

Then again a K20 properly built is something to be heard... my god it is amazing!
Most people just drop in a K24 which was never designed for the same usage as the K20.. The bonus of the K20/24 Hybrid is you get the benefits of both worlds and if built right you will push more power then a stand alone K20 that's built having said that, there are a few more hurdles going down this road...
I suggest you look into your future plans for this car;
What do i want to achieve?
How long do i intend to keep the car?
Why am i doing these modifications?

Ask your self them questions then come back to us IMO.
5 years into my DC5R now, i've spent an enormous amount of $ and still haven't touched the engine... So i hope you know what your looking into honestly.
Oh plus the headaches of the blue and white boys/girls
