The other night on MTV they did a True Life: I'm a Street Racer. Long story short, a guy in a blue RHD DC2 (with a USDM front bumper!!!!! :dunno: + Type-R lip) with LS/VTEC and ITB and he ended up racing some other guy twice and lost $500 then tried to race him again and won but he blew his motor

I know TWM sells a cover up manifold that goes of the ITB to run a intake system. You could look into that.

Like some folks already mentioned, you can get filters that go on each air horn. For example here is a Miata with a set of R.S. Aizawa ITBs with such filters:
There are also "cake" air filters available that go around all four air horns.
Cars that come from the factory with ITBs (BMW M, Nissan Skyline GT-R, etc) usually run a plenum which surrounds the airhorns and has a tube going to a filter at a remote location. TWM makes a similar airbox for their ITB kits. Here it is on a VW:
But TWM states that this airbox is not designed to be pressurized, so no dice with a forced induction application.
