Turbo Instalation

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Recently had an S2000 and traded it in for an RX8. Had the RX8 for a couple of months now, and love it. My greddy kit came in last week and I'm looking for a good shop to have it installed. If anyone has any helpful information I would really appreciate it. I live in Warwick RI. But I am in the New Hampshire area alot visiting my girlfriend. So a shop in the New England area would be great.

welcome aboard and if your looking for some serious rotor heads then maybe you should consider taking a drive down to jersey for rotorfest on 7/10....i can assure you there will be some people that have a vast knowledge of turbo applications there

you gusy better take lots of pics at rotorfest for those of us on the eastcoast who can't go.

Loved my S2000 ! Have no complaints on it what so ever. Just wanted a car that was a little more roomy. And smoother ride. Plus I wanted a new project.

its cool sorry if I sounded like excluding your car
but its just a local rotary gathering we had and were talking about it.I believe the acosta team will ride with us this year and by now Im assuming there red rx8 should have his turbo kit installed.Simon from clifton with the tit grey 8 has his greddy turbo kit already installed and may caravan with us.but doesnt check the boards.either way mazdamaniac will be there :D



p.s jon you been lost buddy, hope everything was okay.give me buzz when you have a chance.
