Anybody put a tubo kit on their 8?

Just found a company that just started making a turbo kit for 8's and I'm thinking of buying one. I was just wondering if anyone had turbocharged theirs yet and what the results were. I know there aren't many turbocharged 8's out there and I'm dying to be the first kid on my block with one. Thanks for your input.

Did you get much of a hp gain? Did you install it yourself or have someone do it? I'm just really curious what a turbocharged 8 is like. Doesn't seem like much else on the road would be able to keep up with it.
