Don't listen to Ryan, I am actually using the same kit, it only took me an hour to install. I'm now pushing 500whp and I'm also using the Crossfire's exhaust bearing's to help with the turbo spool-up. I've been running this kit for the last 30,000 miles and never ran into a problem.

You should totoally buy that. I wish I had just bought the ebay kit instead of building my own. I"ll bet that can be installed in a day. Mine took a couple of weeks to build.

Sure the S2000, SUBARU LEGACY, COBRA, and the RX-8 can all use the same twin turbo kit.

Of course. Infact, the Cobra pistons are a direct swap for our cars. How do you think people get over 400hp ?

omfg. Better yet, just get Rx7 turbos! They work even better!



No, obviously they don't work. Anything universal for turbo kits are garbage.

the eBay kit is crap, however, you can swap the rx7 turbos onto our cars with very little problems. You will just need some intercooler piping, some extra random hoses, and a pcm flash. All can be had for around $500 if you find the turbos cheap enough

Oh man, how did I miss this thread.

If that guy actually went through with it....epic, just epic.

I never understood how people can get or do things on a whim not looking well into the matter.

That would never happen, because that would imply they were able to attach the turbos to the car... which is impossible without the thing none of the universal kits comes with: a manifold.
