Turboing my 8

I wanna turbocharge my Rx8, its an automatic, and im not switching to a manual trasmission, everyone i ask locally says "trade it" "get rid of it" but no, i know for a fact that you can do great things to auto cars, i just need to find out where i can get the kit to do so, i would use Greddy but all of there kits are for the manual versions only, if someone could please help me out and tell me what all to get and do then it would be really helpful. i love my Rx8 and won't and am not ready to give it up

For auto, I'd say Racing Beat Supercharger. Please, check the "Major Horsepower Upgrades" section of the forum

09Factor is a member here on the forums. He has a turbo auto. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/09factors-automatic-greddy-install-build-out-164257/
Or, go to pettitracing.com

@OP

What is an AccessPort?

If you can't answer that, do yourself and all of us a favor by researching more on forced induction as stickied in the forum.
