Turbo Install

Anyone in Georgia or Florida know where I could get my turbo installed and tuned? Ive tried getting ahold of Mazsport and cant. I had a person who was going to do it from the getgo but he broke his leg a few weeks ago. And no one around here in SE georgia will touch my car because of the rx-8's engine problems theyve heard about. We've called everywhere almost. And another big tuner around here just joined the NAVY so screwed there too.

I live about an hour from Jacksonville in southern Ga but Ill go wherever I have to as long as its GA/FL .

Anyways thanks

In light of all the recent drama with Mazsport I'd stay away from them anyway.

BHR can do it.

I also know a local Master Mazda tech that has about 16 years in rotaries and he can also do the work. He's in the Spring Hill area (Just north of Tampa). PM me if you want his ph#

I order the midpipe about 3 months ago, sent a few emails and heard back that they're waiting for the silencers to come in stock. So expect a month or so more.

Yeah man I actually did the install myself at a local shop that I rented out for 2 days. If not we could do it in my garage (there is where I did the uninstall). Also I have an Interceptor-X that is tuned for the Greddy Kit by Scott at Mazsport. My int-x is tuned perfectly for your kit if you are using it in GA!!

Where are you located x-attack ? also are you up for selling that int-x ? Would way rather have that than the emanage ultimate that I have.

9krpmrx8, I already have a turbo and everything for it, too late to be buying a sc, plus I like turbos better.

Accessport is bar none the best choice for the RX-8. I've owned every fuel management available for the RX-8 too, so I'm not talking out my ***.

Since you didn't PM me for the master tech's ph#, I assume you're also not interest. Makes me wonder about this thread.
