Turbo Questions

Sup guys, Im new to this forum and I just got my RX8 about 2 weeks ago, and ive been thinking about adding FI for my car.

Ive been reading around the forums and Ive been looking at the Greddy Bolt on along with the EVOTT. But reading more I found out that the Greddy turbo does not fit with the 4speed automatic. I was wondering if that was true and/or if it is possible to turbo my rx8. It has the sports tranny with the tiptronic. Since it is automatic is it even a good idea for FI?

Ive read the whole forum dealing with turbo on a AT tranny but im just curious if someone like me should even bother with a turbo on the 4AT. I just got confused with that thread.

If you are looking for gains and are using the Stock tranny it can be safe to say that you can run 220 - 240 RWHP with no problem. One of the main problems that FI'd 8's ran into was over heating so I def recommend contacting Ray from BHR and inquiring about his SPEC MADE A/T Rad. After speaking to many people on this forums (other then Phil) The S/C choices that our out are not that tried and tested and some even say the tech used takes the car backwards (in technology).

The MM Greddy upgrade is awesome bang for the buck Click here for more info on the MM kit and there is always the great Mazsport Turbo kit.

Now I just gotta save up and in May I will be boosted
