First off, congrats on the new car. As of right now there are no turbo systems currently available, but there are many in the works. The best performance mod available is the Canzoomer ECU mod. You can find all the info you need here

next time try the search button, I will forgive you this time
:D Nice rims by the way.

oh and another thing... dont compare your 8 to a Cobra, someone will probably tell you that you should of bought an econobox rocket of some sort if you wanted straightline performance. :D im just messing around, enjoy the car.

if you want cobra-like performace you should have bought a cobra. turbo kits or not, these cars are at two different ends of the spectrum. the 8 is a torqueless rev loving beast that's got a chassis that can do wonders with what the engine puts out. it's not by any means a platform for record 1/4 mile times. love the 8 for what it is, not for what other car you want it to be like.
