Any one know of a good turbokit? I want to put a trubo in my 04 I don't have any problems with it I want to just get better preformence and maybe a BIG IF like 2 MPG more out of it. I have a friend who has an rx7 duel turbo and it runs like it just came off the lot and gets some what good MPG. Any thoughts????

200.mph

First things first, an FD is not an RX8. Two completely different engines, two completely different beasts. The 13B REW was designed from factory to be 300 hp nonsense with a true twin turbo charging system. The Renesis was designed to be the highest compression N/A Version of the rotary. If you want the best fuel economy possible, keep on top of your oil changes and spark plug/wire/coil changes (The holy trinity for the RX8 if you will.) Tertiary to that, be ready to invest heavily in a turbo'ed 8, possibly budgeting for a rebuilt engine depending on the mileage you have on yours at the moment. It's not just 'Slap on a turbo and go.' It's "Well, I've got the cooling sorted, a tuning system in place, more fuel and I have the time invested to make sure that all these other systems are healthy especially the engine."

The RX8 is not designed for straight line speed. It was built to handle like a monster from factory. It's made for canyon carving and track days, not all out drags. Set it up for lighter, wider tires and learn to hit the apex in acceleration every time and the car will never fail to make you smile. Try and drag race a Civic and you might get smoked.

Also - Duel - A challenge or commitment to fight an opponent in combat, generally speaking singularly.
Dual - consisting of two parts or separate elements. No one puts a turbo on their vehicles to "solve" anything, so I'm not sure why you said there was nothing wrong with it. If turbo's solved problems, then I'd strap a turbo to my wife.
