Personally I think the stock RX is better looking then the MS version and those stock exhaust pipes with that back bumper looks ridiculous.
I think the only way for us to see a turbo is if it comes from Japan, they need to make a special rotor(low compression) for a FI engine.

anyone notice this article is a year old? it's talking about jamie foxx winning an oscar for ray for god's sakes. btw the caption on the side of the picture that shows the engine says it's a stock engine, so no added horsepower.
i figure there are only two feasable ways mazdaspeed would modify that engine.
1. supercharge it, (as turbos while making the car faster and more powerful also make it rather unrelible) which will also make it burn more gas
2. add another rotar, which will make the car cost a lot more (more that a some of us can afford) and will also make it burn more gas
remember they have to slap a warrenty on everything they make, so i doubt we'll see a turbo from them without extensive r&d
