well, without posts....the forum isnt active. A forum full of lurkers is useless. Instead of saying use the search....why not just say " i have no idea". Or let someone else answer.

because such thing as a stupid question and lazy ppl do exist, and we frown upon it. it gets tiring reinventing the wheel.

I have multiple ideas, and I found them all by reading the information that is in plain sight. I'll be nice:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=132628

It was at the top of the "Major Horsepower Upgrades" page (same one this thread is posted on). List a price range, power level you're looking for, more info basically. With what you listed, I could just as easily say every kit available for the 8.

Oh, and get a kit actually made for the 8... I dont know how well the turbo you asked about would work in an rx8 application, but if you have to do a bunch of custom fabrication, it's probably just better to go with a kit.

I admit, some people are too harsh on this forum. Others are too soft. Many are too lazy.

side note: you need advice. You need us to advise you.
