Lancia did it for rallying and Nissan and VW did it in production cars.

Anyway, just leave it stock and you'll go faster than adding those BS stuffs.

Yup, you heard it here first guys... turbochargers just make your car go slow.

Although... actually forced induction RX-8s do tend to go pretty slow... due to having blown motors and not moving.

Yeah, mine is totally slow.
I passed that C6 in turn 11 really slowly on Sunday.
It did seem like one of us was barely moving.

I thought you were driving the Miata on Sunday? You have a ton of track time as well Jeff, so you could very well pass a C6 in a Miata/RX-8/grocery cart.

Also, how many Renesis motors have you been through? 9? 10?

For what its worth though, I was kidding... my motor didn't blow when I was turbocharged. Compared to the new car though it was slow as poop.
