while i totally understand it can be costly, i am still a believer that proper maintanence is the key.
well im glad thats only your opinion.... FI is when you use any device to "push" more air into the combustion chamber.

so that can be either a turbo or a supercharger...

the preference of most: Turbos... but im sure this isnt not a FI forum, so i wont get into it....

[EDIT:]

And as a result of their 'hard' route, they have one of the best inline 6's you will find in the WORLD. Not to mention a measly 3.2L I6 that puts out 333 horses in the M3
WTF? im not here to make enemies... but here of Porsche(sp? heh... its late....

much much better....

and for whom who say throttle response is hardly felt, i opt to disagree... my dad has a COMPELTLY stock MX-6 GT, with a small turbo on its 2.2L, running @ i think 6lbs of boost... and it is noticable... especially, passing on highways, accelerating up hills. it just pulls when the turbo spools up.

IF i end up getting a RX-8, Turbo will be the FIRST thing i do...
heh... i just need to turbo my Probe GT.
