Try the Mazdaspeed/Aftermarket performance forum... tons of info there. in fact, I'm moving this thread to that forum. Please spend some time reading.

nothing really ready. A couple of companies or individuals have tried, but yet to sell the product or have final dyno numbers. SSR has prices and the stages, but has no numbers on hp, showing the dynos. Roots created a supercharger, also a thread on axial supercharger in creation. nothing really out thats finished and has numbers proven. hope this helps.

That's, just funny, 8, how do you guys figure out how to do this stuff? I must be one of the only two people on this forum that is almost completely computer illiterate.

There are several, most of which add 90-120whp. Best of all, they're cheap $500-$1400 and do not void the factory warranty. I have two on my car, one for each cylinder bank. I also have a blow-off valve under my seat.

ignore the above post. ssr engineering and boost solutions are the closest to having a turbo kit ready. search for either of them and read the threads. none ready yet. also you might want to read the "axial flow supercharger" thread as an alternative.

Speed Force Racing supposedly has a turbo kit ready for the 8, they have it on there website but the funny thing is, the pictures are from SSR's website. I tried to call them but they did not answer so i left a message. I will keep everyone updated.

Dammit, I hate this crap. Maybe folks should have to read the FAQ's before they get their password approved. USE THE G-DARNED SEARCH!!!! Or at least spend a few seconds looking at the site to determine whether or not a new thread is really needed. Sheesh.
