Cool Is there an RX8 Turbo Charger kit available?

238 hp is pretty good...but I'd like to push it a bit more.....just got the 8 2 weeks ago...VERY NICE! Did the Software upgrade too...just want a little more oomph...When I say "little" i mean a lot! Anyways...I heard from a few people that there is a turbo charger out for the 8..is this correct? Maybe Garrett or somthing? Or is there anything else I can do to increase some of the HP?

IMO turbo charging or supercharging this car is not going to show the huge gains you are looking for because of the high compression ratio this engine is set up for. Because of that, boost will be set low. Someone will need to get lower compression rotors into the engine, which will make getting big numbers out of the renesis very expensive. I personally am waiting to see what is developed by companies that make turbos for the 7.
