Maybe Racing Beat's intake instead. Rotary Extreme's appears to get mixed reviews from owners on this site. I'm not sure if RB's will be available in time for that.

A turbo kit will replace the intake system you're buying now. Spend money on suspension or the exhaust system if you're thinking about a turbo.

How much do you want to spend?
What made your mum buy the 8?
Is she into style or performance?
