I don't drive a boosted 8 but I have been the passenger in one.........

RX8 with 300-400whp is like no other car IMO. You can tell anyone that I said that

When my engine gets a rebuild/ported (94,000 miles on original engine lol), I will make sure that a turbo kit is on the top of my list for 2010

I'm assuming that most owners who made the decision to go FI would be happy with the results. Otherwise that's a lot of money and time gone to waste.

If you're asking questions about turbo'ing the 8, chances are you're one of the many who believe the car is too slow, and would therefore enjoy the car more after boosting.

most owners would WANT to be happy of course since it costs so much, but unexpected problems come at you from every direction for some people...but not always!

Ah, there you go. An easy to understand quantitative amount of more fun. On the other hand, you could get some mazdaspeed stickers and not be having much more fun, but atleast you'll look |--| that much cooler.
