I think it's an Apexi or HKS... looks like a bullet.. I saw under the hood of his car when he drove up to New Jersey to see my install. Damn my memory..

Please. :D
Please. :D

Jon, can you give me a pm and tell me again how you got that silly tab loose to get the trim off when changing the shifter. I had one last night that would not come loose.

I propose we all mail $1 to Philodox for shareing all of this with us. We can all get him something for his 8 or let him spend it. Philodox, I know you just wanted to share but it's been so cool seeing all the work and then the video.
Come on people...$1 for Philodox!

Hey guys, not to put a damper on things, but...
While the aircraft-related stuff is interesting to a lot of us, it's not to everyone who comes to this thread wanting to learn about the Greddy Turbo. I've stripped those posts out of this thread and created you a new one containing them in the Lounge here. Let's try to keep this thread on topic - it's already 16+ pages. Thanks!

Well as you can tell there is alot of reading in this post. And I will be honest I am feeling lazy to day. I know this was probably asked already but any figures on MPG? Big diffrence or barely noticable?

All the meandering adds character I say!
Anyway, back on topic. I've decided that I am going to purchase this kit. Although originally I had thought of waiting for a kit that produces more power, the amount the Greddy is putting down seems perfect as the 8 is my daily driver.
So, philo, just to bother you more, any tips/hints for me putting this on?
Rick's Rotary Performance in Pleasanton will be doing the install. Funny thing is, I just called them today about it and they will be installing the kit on their own car this week! He and I mentioned this same thread...what a great site this is.
I will be purchasing :
Greddy turbo kit
HKS SSQ BOV (rerouted to intake)
As for the boost gauge...excuse my ignorance, but it isn't a necessity is it? With the low boost and the fixed maps, I would imagine that monitoring the boost shouldn't be a problem.
(Oh yes...I am the person who JUST bought your CZ philo...it'll be FS now
)

What about the boost gauge in the Mazda North American Operations car. I would like this gauge with the kit. Jon, do you think this would work?

Damn you guys, I had my money set away to buy the MS kit, but I think it would be better to give my car some *****. Rick is a cool guy and knows his stuff, if he would scrap his custom SC for the Greddy kit, thats enough for me.
