He is an outstanding wrench. Wrench being a term of affection.. hehe.. don't get offended all you mechanics out there ;) He is the only one I trust to work on my 8. Just PM me if you want his contact info.

yes please post pics....or better yet....why don't yall make a DIY for the Turbo so we can all save some money.....J/K :D

well...maybe not a DIY, but definetly step-by-step guide so to speak...I am hoping to tackle this on my own with a few friends that also work in shops all day long...and any documentation is better than no documentation.

How about this with a Greddy Turbo for those scared to put nitrous in with this kit ?

I wonder how effective this would be in reducing charge temperature ?

Ideally, I'd like to get 3rd-party impressions of the stock vs. turbo ride. You have to remember that there was a year-long gap between the last time I drove the car in stock form and it's current state...

Well, as I said earlier.. they instructions are in japanese. Greddy is working on translating them right now. Mazdatrix is going to email them to me once they get them. Once I get them, you guys get them ;)

So what 0-60 and quarter mile time are we looking at with the 300 hp...?

ahhh everythign for our baby is in japanese (welll duh it is made in Nippon)..makes me wish i stuck to japanese class back in the day:(

Any possibility Shawrf1 or maybe Phildox?

I could always travel down to Mazdatrix and take a video if they have a car there...

I'll do my best to shoot some video once I get it installed.

Also, with the Greddy kit I'm looking more towards 250whp @ 5psi. With that I'm hoping for low to mid 13's. Once I am happy that everything is running right I'll play around with more boost.

i can't remember who originaly found this...it's pretty interesteing. Won't give you exact numbers/times of course but it'll give you a good idea of what to expect.

Hehe.. so at 250whp I was right at a low to mid 13 ;) how's that for a stab in the dark.. hehe

That's pretty cool. :)

Hey Philodox:

When you get the kit, dump a copy of the E-Manage map for me. I want to compare it to the maps I am making for my turbo system right now.

Sure thing, when I get it I'll PM you for your email so I can send it to you.

hey philodox...while you are dumping the map for MazdaManiac...how about you just dump you car off on me:) i woudl like to compare mine (stock) vs. yours (sooo not stock):D

ok ok so that isn't gonna happen....can't blame a guy for trying;)

lol.. what state are you from again? I'm always in the mood for a road trip.. hehe

Actually, you are close enough to me that we ought to get together and compare systems, notes, etc.

I'll drive up, we just need to set a time.

philodox, when are you going to receive the kit? Everyone is probably as anxious as you are for you to recieve it. Wish I got 4 grand to dump around :(

i'm in good ole northern virginia:D

It is shipping today via UPS ground.. yay UPS ground.. so it should have it in 7-10 days. Don't worry guys/gals, I won't let you down ;)

Philodox and I seem to be sharing the same attitude about road trips. I am always looking for a place to go or an excuse to drive my 8. When we install our respective turbo kits we'll have to meet somewhere and take some photos. Besides, I'll need another test car for my Ti PPF. Philo, if you are doing the install over a weekend, would you like some help with it? Might make mine easier to do for me.

Thats awesome philodox. I was going to get this kit but I am sending my car to PF Supercars for a Turbo kit. Newly owned and operated by Ray Wilson. They will be designing a similar kit and offer it around the same price plus the install. I will keep everyone posted when she goes in to the shop.

Good luck with your kit.....

philodox, have you considered a live video feed for you upcoming unveiling event? This (install/test run) should be recorded for posterity, don't you think? maybe a friend with a camcorder following you? Sorta like a 5th gear episode :D

lol.. I'll mount my digital video camera over to the center console. No worries guys, All I'll need is someone to host the file once I make it. More to follow.. like I said, I'll start another thread once I get the kit installed.
