Pure coincidence. LOL! :D

So all you gotta do to join up is send us an email (address in my sig block) with your screen name here, real name, email address, phone number, and color of your '8, and we'll add you to the rolls. Simple as that, no reason to wait!

Wow, that sucks. Sorry man.

But isn't this the "1000 WHP" beast? If so, where you got it posted for sale?

Oh hell no. I would have had to get rid of a tuner beast like that a long time ago. It's a sleeper.

It's a very streetable, reliable, low maintenance turbo setup from Flyin' Miata. I conservatively rate it at about 210 rwhp, with a fat powerband (another thing I like about turbos). Considering the fact that it weighs less than 2500 lbs, and that the turbo makes up for some altitude loss, it is easily in the same ballpark as a Mustang GT and Canzoomer RX8 in a straight line.

But it ain't no "Corvette-challenging-boost-beast".

Among other places, you can find info on it by clicking on my "website" button.
