Just found a company that just started making a turbo kit for 8's and I'm thinking of buying one. I was just wondering if anyone had turbocharged theirs yet and what the results were. I know there aren't many turbocharged 8's out there and I'm dying to be the first kid on my block with one. Thanks for your input.

Did you get much of a hp gain? Did you install it yourself or have someone do it? I'm just really curious what a turbocharged 8 is like. Doesn't seem like much else on the road would be able to keep up with it.

no one has a turbo on the 8 yet in the states "that i know of" because there arent any kits out here yet. second ignore abbid;) third what company's turbo are you looking at? 4th this should be in aftermarket so i am moving it there

They've got a new picture in there too.. and notice it also says it's got a "black box" laptop programmable ECU now too.. I wonder what's in that black box.
