He is the only one I trust to work on my 8. Just PM me if you want his contact info.

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...

Also, since you have worked closely with GReddy, is it possible for you to obtain dyno graphs? I would love to check out the torque curve compared to stock.

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.

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.
