so what country are you from? Save your money and go turbo, unelss you wanna spend a little over $1,000 to only get bolt-on's that will get you like 5 hp. Oh yea do a search in the aftermarket performance thread next time you will see what you are looking for...

There are a few bolt on you can get to make a difference... 1st you can get exhaust and a high-flow cat, Stock airbox is pretty good and breaths fairly well so maybe a green filter or K&N drop in filter, and the best results I have seen without forced induction have come from PCM upgrades (there are some really exciting ones on the way....) such as PCM reflashes to the stock system (don't let the dealer reflash your PCM if you with this type of upgrade) or you can look at the piggyback systems such as Canzoomers. Of course I hear that adding a sticker or 3 adds about 25 hp on the butt dyno!!! Just kidding around of course. I would wait a little bit on the PCM reflash because I have been hearing word that there is some realllllly exciting stuff coming out in the near future that will be relatively cheaper and safer than what I have seen so far unless you can tune for yourself.

We have been hearing this crap forever though. Wait until 'X' supercharger comes out or whatever.

What have you heard about a full PCM reflash? Someone crack the code?

PTP has a $3k turbo kit out right?

Would adding a turbo lessen gas mileage? I'm not sure because Car and Driver tested a RX8 with PTP turbo kit and got 14mpg with, I'm assuming, pretty rough driving.

Do you get a rebate on the letters you don't use in the misspellings and abbreviations in your post? Is there some reason you purposefully make your post difficult for us to read?

I agree with some of the other posters here. Save your money and buy the remaining keys for your keyboard. Sorry couldnt resist again I'm sorry

For me after looking at other peoples cars I'm gonna go with a exhaust system, still debating on who to goto either HKS or Greddy
After that I seen a sweet K&N filter forget the name off top my head but after I do some more research it most likely will be going in. Just wish someone would get a Super Charger sick of hearing about how it worked great on the previous engine but nothing for us yet grrr oh well...

I can't give any details about nothin' but lets just say that I have first hand knowledge on the SC and a complete reflash! Good things are right around the corner, I promise.

All things being equal, losing added weight. Moderate exercise and a healthy diet. I know one morbidly obeist 8 owner who lost 140lbs which translates into removing three 45lbs plates and about five Speak and Spells.
