The best thing to do would be to contact a good shop like esmerilracing.com

The bolt on greddy kit is not knowen for being great. Search the Greddy kit.... there is a ton to read. I suggest you read a ton and ask lots of questions on current threads already started. There is a ton to think about when doing a proper turbo RX-8.

Good luck.

Whooa girls need power to.
What kind of turbo kit are you looking for? or should i say what do you want out of the car. We have several options these days. I personally like turboes but its whatever you like each option should give you extra boost in power

as long as you do the proper modifications to the greddy kit it can be a very good choice.

Ya just cause we are girls doesnt mean we dont race lol. I have couple girls here that races and turbos their car. I want atleast 300HP or more off the kit. But my main concern is if its a good choice cause i like the brand. i search and its mostly people talking smacks and how they have problems with their turbos not power wise toward what the heck they want. So any sugestions on the turbos or anyfin? ^_^

Not to put too fine a point on it but even the a lot of guys on here don't seem to be able to get their turbos sorted so there are not too many options i would recommend for you.

However if "Sumwherrr lol " is anywhere near Phoenix . You should pm charles r hill and get him to hook you up .

I'm assuming (and probably right no matter how much you deny it) that you're talking about street racing.

Either way, do research on turbos. You can find ALL the information you need on the topic by searching. You can say you did search and it didn't work, but that doesn't change the fact that you are failing to search properly. If all you did was type turbo into the search field for thread titles, you'd find all the answers you need.

The fact that you're a girl is probably going to get you your answer without you trying, but you should still at least make some effort to learn something about your car on your own.

The one answer I will give you: DO NOT JUST GO BUY A BOLT ON KIT AND CALL IT A DAY. INVEST THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY.

If you're looking for a good top mount setup we can make one. If the car has zero supporting mods, like a cobb ecu, bhr ignition/clutch etc then its going to be very expensive.
