get the mazsport type 1, greddy with the MM upgrade and BHR/MM kit. Once you do that you can upgrade them into 1 really great kit. Someone on the forum just finished this combo kit and is putting down 500+ horsepower.

You want the best? I say go with MazdaManica's....
MEGA-HYPER ELECTRO-TURBO SYSTEM
It's the best money can buy for a relatively good price.

Seriously, though, go to the Dyno Comparison thread stickied at the top of this forum and pick your favorite curvy line. Then go read from beginning to end whatever 100 page post goes into the details of the kit. If by page 100 you still want it and it's still possible to get, go nuts.

What an intriguing and original question. Try reading some of the threads stickied in the "Major Horsepower Upgrades" section of the forum. I suggest you do more research than looking at a price tag and a peak HP number from the manufacturer of said turbo kit before making a decision. If you don't know a lot about turbos and rotary engines, or have a lot of money to throw away, I'd suggest not going down the aftermarket FI road at all.
But you aren't going to listen to that advice anyway, so buy whichever turbo kit makes your pants tighter and a few inches shorter.

With meth injection and a really aggressive turbo setup I think it would be possible on pump gas. I don't know of anybody that's pushed it that far, and I wouldn't really recommend it unless you have a spare motor handy though

Where have you read that?
And in your first post, you originally said "400hp", when means crank horsepower. In that case, many have surpassed 400 crank horsepower.
And of course the Renesis can make 400-rwhp with race gas. I personally know of one that has done over 380-rwhp with only a splash of race gas and more to go, just didn't want to pop the motor.

My statement is long overdue. I have the complete PRO TECH turbo set-up. This set-up is awesome. I was a little antsy and brought the car home before they were completely finished. They did not get a chance to put it on the dyno (my fault). They were waiting on a part and I did not want to wait. I have everything the C/D project car had plus an extra or two. I will be going back to PRO TECH for the dyno test. I will post the chart as soon as I have the documentation. PRO TECH said they will film and post the film. The raceway close by is hosting a special STREET CAR/GRUDGE match in a week. I will be there. I know what there project car posted. NOW, lets see if they were right.

Well those are forums, not exactly scientific information. Take everything you read and hear with a grain of salt until you know the individual/place is a reliable source.
