Davefzr, I checked also and SFR site is down, I hope this means that they are updating their site for the RX-8 Turbo...This is about the time Tim has told me it would be out. I would like to follow-up with a phone call to see if this is true but I won't be home till tomorrow, Does anyone have their Phone number so I can call Today..

Flash, Update, just got off the phone with Tim from SFR...
1. Their system crashed should be up and running by tomorrow.
2. The Turbo system will be posted on the web by beginning of next week, with dyno and video of the RX-8... sounds good.
3. System is ready to buy right now, with about a four week wait, numbers still the same as I posted earlier- 300hp. at wheels & 250 lbs. torque at wheels.
4. Be careful about lite weight flywheels can produce a slight turbo lag compared to the heavier flywheel, I will probably buy the mazdaspeed flywheel like cortc, it has the right weight in the right places.
5. I believe they will work with you on pricing, depending on what you buy. Tim's seems like a straight forward guy. I believe I'am sold on this one, just waiting for the Dyno's and I'am BUYING

Dang man this kit looks and sounds very promising. I was almost sold on trying out one of the blitz supercharger kits that I was going to ship in from england, but now I'm kinda wanting to see what happens with this kit. The description for this kit says that it makes 275whp @5psi. " The RX-8 Turbo Kit is projected to produce an estimated 275WHP @ 5 PSI!" Some of the other kits were running safe at 8 psi I thought. I wonder what kind of gains we could see at 8 psi from this kit?
