I'd love to see the kit go into production, but the engine needs work not the FI the small amount of boost we use is directly related to the amount of boost the engine can withstand which is bairly nothing which only relates to a few overstock at the flywheel, I read on their site the made 250 at the flywheel on JDM AT and 256 at the flywheel after they added the turbo we need more PSI for the kit to be worth the money to buy it. But hey I'll buy it if it's the right price and that's 302 rwhp.

I thought I'd seen the CARB statement somewhere, but wasn't sure...thanks.
Comparitively, anything upwards of 250whp isn't too bad as Pettit has only been discussing around 220 for their twin screw set-up. Also, it appears to be a small turbo, so lag shouldn't be much of an issue.

This is what they advertised at SEMA. Looks worth it to me.
Regardless, I still think we should e-mail them and get more support for the car. Other manufacturers will see this and follow suit, and in turn, we will get a larger aftermarket.

This is killing me.. I wonder who will get my money 
Someone come out with it.
I guess the more difficult part will be knowing a kit is out and having to wait for feedback/results/product usage/etc.... before I buy it...

Here's the kicker though, the guys said that IF they go into production, it'll be available in the first quarter of 2005. That's a big "IF." See, they said they're not sure if there's interest or profit to be made from the kit. They said they're still fine tuning it but they're making around 300 whp from it. We just gotta make sure we show them interest.
Here's what I propose. We should all take the time to e-mail greddy and tell them just how interested we are in their turbo kit for the renesis. The guy sounded very iffy, but I kid you not, we cannot miss out on this kit. WE MUST SHOW INTEREST.
MAYBE THE MODS SHOULD STICKY THIS???

The I went over to the Protech booth and the guy that owns the shop and the silver RX-8 told me: "MY kit puts out 350whp right now and we are going to do final tuning around 320whp. With a full exhoust system from our shop and a custom 3 way pod where the NAV system gos on the dash."
