Turbo RX-8

Now I have read all about this electronically assisted turbo that mazda will eventually put on the rx-8. But what about the those people out there who already have an 8, where can they find a turbo kit?

There are turbo kits available already. They aren't Mazda brand, but some aftermarket companies are already making them. My brother-in-law has found several websites from manufacturer's that he is considering.

Here is one that I have found (http://www.ssr-engineering.com/products_rx8turbo.php). I will try to get more information from him and post the manufacturer's here.

That site has "For Off Road Use Only" in the specs. LOL!

It has the "Off Road Use Only" label because it's probably not 50-state legal. CARB is the last line of defense before the ORUO label can be taken off.
