honestly, i spend most of my time at work either coding websites or optimizing them for search engines and IE is one of the easiest browsers to work with. I use Safari (which i actually like a lot, IE's just my default browser) and Firefox (which i think is just a waste of drive space that L337 snobs believe is the best thing out there since sliced bread and birth control pills because they simply won't "conform" to having to use anymore microsoft products than they absolutely must... go choke on a penguin...) as well so that i know what i build looks respectable across all major platforms. Opera is worse than FF and Google Chrome is too new to me right now to make any sort of educated judgement for or against.

I digress and apologize. So as not to be rude and make sure i properly answer your question as you have asked: No, i am neither at work nor something.

Back on topic..

















Firefox > IE.

I'd suggest maybe waiting til the end of your warranty to boost it, because if they see a boosted 8 they aren't going to fix anything. Do some body modification to make it look nice and pretty. Get it a custom paint job, a nice body kit, a reasonable set of rims, maybe a slight window tint depending on what color your 8 is. Put a nice exhaust on it. I'd suggest holding off on your turbo til your warranty expires, though. Drive the car with reliability while it still exists. Once you boost it, seals go bad quicker and Mazda won't foot a rebuild.

The other option of course is to put all the stock parts on right before you bring it to the dealership.

Just get a hold of Mazdamaniac. And get the BHR Turbo. You will be pleased.

Look the noobs are posting pertinent information, great work noobs!!!

search the following keywords: Greddy Turbo Upgrade.

What you seek you shall find there.

SideOfBacon 09-20-2008 12:04 PM

get ahold of mazdamanaic (Jeff) or Charles R. Hill... go with the greddy + turbo upgrade (known as the devil's hairdryer). the bundle they offer will include an AP Cobb for map management, which will be tuned by Jeff to your exact configuration.. exhaust, CAI, turbo, etc.

wow...6500 is alot to turbo.. im pretty sure thats the price on an 8 but shit....that more than half of what i financed to get my 8..hahaha..

Race Roots 09-20-2008 12:28 PM

And on that note we have the Greddy Turbo Kits pretty cheap then you can do the upgrade with MM\BHR if you wanted to go that route

Or you can piece together someones used kit as well which you can find in the bottom of the main page under classifieds

Good turbo kits for an RX-8 are not cheap.
Remember, you get what you pay for...

what if you dont live in the area?

Jedi54 09-20-2008 02:54 PM

Charles R. Hill does remote installs; he'll fly out to you.

AP can be tuned by MM via emails. He sends you a map, you see how it works, he tweaks map, emails you an updated version until all is well. tuning the Greddy Upgrade Kit (soon to be BHR version) is easy for him as he has the system and has tuned just about every greddy upgrade out there.

Technology FTW
