Turbo help?

I'm looking at getting my RX8 Track Ready and I need some acceleration after coming out of a corner. But idk what type of turbo is suited for the 2004 RX8 GT.
If any one has information it would be great. I'm looking for the kits (BOV, wastegate and intercooler)
Suspension is handled and already have exhuast andintake (all RacingBeat).

This is right under the forum you posted in. Major Horsepower Upgrades - RX8Club.com

Lots of questions about turbos have been asked before so your answer is in there. I hope you have enough money to do this.

Minimal changes, take the knock off and just add the Vtec and its the same thing.

Plus it's a bargain, comes with a no blown engine garuntee, unlike this thread.

Really gives you that low end torque we have been missing.

Why do you need acceleration after a corner? Do you go to tracks with long straights (140mph+) or you're not able to bring speed into a corner with a momentum car?

To enjoy the rx8 focus on weight reduction since it's a pig and suspension. With 5k$ invested in suspension and brake mods you'll have a car that simply eats an rx8 with 5k worth of a turbo kit.

If you really want to enjoy the track with a track ready car keep the rx8 as a daily driver and buy something more track focused.
