The list of required items:
- A 20b engine
- A Turbo
- Another turbo
- A better transmission
- Lots of custom fabricated parts
- A custom oil system
- A custom cooling system
- A reinforced custom driveshaft
- Reinforced axles
- Suspension upgrades to handle the power
- Big brakes to give you a chance at living
- A shop that can do 9 months of labor doing the swap
- A shop that can do the tuning so you don't end up with a paperweight
- A rather large bank account with at least 5 zeros behind a 6 and in front of the decimal point
- A increased volume of gray matter
- A clue

you cant even make the stock renesis reliable with a single turbo for 4k..
Save another 5k and you can turbo the renesis without a problem. Save another 56k and you can have your 20b + twin turbo system.

Turbo'ing a stock Renesis is roughly $10,000, parts and labor.
For $4,000, pay off a bunch of the car, or upgrade your suspension.

You can get a Cobb AccessPort from MM
A midpipe
A catback
BHR ignition
BHR Radiator
BHR Fuel pump upgrade
a Sohn Adapter
a Racing Beat or AEM/Mazdaspeed intake
A reinforced clutch pedal
and have a little bit of cash left over, but have a more reliable 8 (depending on its current condition) with marginally more power.

Every single forced induction method for the Renesis is incomplete. The closer to completion a given "kit" is, the more it costs, but even the most complete kits cost $6,000+ and still need modifications to get it to work correctly.
You need to start with a budget of $10,000 for forced induction on an 8. Pay little for the parts, pay alot for the labor, customizing, tuning, and probably engine rebuild. Pay alot for the parts, and assuming you aren't scammed, you will pay less for customization, labor, and tuning.
Go read the build threads and see the nightmare you are getting yourself into, the problems each build has had, the resolution, etc....
