Actually this is a great idea now that I think about it ....................I might make a kit up . Think I'll call it the .................................................. .................................................. 'Greddy Turbo Kit'

:lol:, a stock Greddy kit with just a Cobb tune and the vacuum hose fixes is probably a good idea.

Greddy weren't as stupid as we thought they were !
Yeah , there are lots of guys doing just that with many happy turboed miles under their belts.

:wavey: ummm right here :D: 9 psi (no boost controller hooked up so drops to 7psi at 7000rpm+) 30000kms so far no issues.... thought I had one but turned out to be a tuning issue with new ignition system, still running solid

You just jinxed yourself.

RotaryMachineRx 08-14-2013 05:55 PM

haha I should say no boost controller yet... have it, just have no time to install it

Yes... Jeeze, what am I saying... 5psi boost?!?! I bet 10psi+ boost is like sex...

5psi would be like getting Blue Balled :tear:

Forgive me :Peace:

just curious, has anyone used the synthe-renesis oil made by mazda for the RX8? it's 0-30.

It's not sold in the U.S. and it wouldn't be worth the dealer mark up anyway, it's not like Mazda makes the oil, it is likely re branded Castrol GC.
