Any shop in the area sell turbo and install?

I am tired of working on these cars lately. Is there any shops locally that will do a turbo install?

Btw: is there any other kits out other than the Greddy kit?

sfr and ptp turbo kit as well...
ptp is in austin, and if your willing to drive to them, i'm sure theyll do the install.
Rotary Performance as well as Gotham Racing are both local and can install kits for you, if they have the time.

Ummm not to seem dumb...but who is ptp and do they have a website. I am very willing to travel to have work done.

Are you talking about Rotary Performance out in Garland? I talked with them a week or so ago and got that from them. They prefer working on the RX7s and will work on the RX8 when they are slow.....

Last time i went past Gotham they has a freaking shop full of dayum cars! So not sure when they would be able to get to mine!

If you are going with RP or Gotham and the Greddy Kit, i would also recommend getting the interceptor put in and having them tune it before your car leaves the shop.
