How long should I wait to FI?
My car has 4k kms (06 GT 6MT) on it and I'm wondering if it would be detrimental to put a FI kit on it because of the low millage?
I'm sure I will get a lot of different answers, but I'm just looking for some recommendations from some ppl with experience on the subject.

Yeah I'm not too worried about the warranty of the power train, as long as its tuned properly it won't make too much of a difference.
I'm just don't want some issues with the motor to show up after I put on the kit on (ones that would have shown up even if it wasn't turboed)

I could be right behind you and almost sent my deposit in today. If I go with Bastage, Juan, and Munchie tomorrow and video them, I know it's gonna put me over the edge!

Oh ****.........I've only been thinking of it everyday for the last 5 months and actually had the appoinment for the S/C, but backed out do to just a few small issues......one being the warranty. Look at the "mods I regret thread" and you'll see my sorry *** there!

Actually my friends mechanic said that turboing RX8 is a real bad idea.
RX8 + boost = boom
yeah. really. that's what i heard....
I am not kidding. you should stay away from FI on 8.
Do you think mazda is wouldn't put a turbo on their car if it was possible?
he he.

lol, this thread is golden. It's like some junkies waiting for their next fix.
I say, if your willing to throw the dice on the warranty issue, then go for it sooner then later. You will enjoy the car much more with FI.
Good luck on whatever you choose.

Richard Paul had an interesting take on this once. He said the best time to FI your car is EARLY on in it's life. It's when the car is (usually) most reliable, your'e still thrilled to have a new car, it looks great (paint, dings, etc) so ENJOY the crap out of it them before any of that changes.
We never know how long we'll have our cars (by our choice or accident) so do it while you can. In other words; now.

true but those "rogue" cars are the minority. I see your point though.
