Putting a Turbo on my Rx8
Hey i was thinking about putting a turbo on my RX8 but... i dont really know much about them i've read threads till my eyes hurt but either i dont really understand the turbo lingo or even know whats going on. The obvious response is "Then dont turbo your RX 8", but i dont really want to settle for that one. So what im hoping for is a little help from what i would call you experts out there...
What im trying to do if possible is get around 300 rwhp spending as close to 5,000 as possible, from a completely stock RX8. If possible. Any suggestions are appreciated thx.

i would budget A LOT more than $5k
example:
greddy kit = $3400
upgrade (which you'll need)= $1200 - $1400
AccessPort = $680
Ignition $500
Install = $800+ labor
and that doesn't include a BOV, gauges, etc everything else you'll NEED to turbo

add in 4-5k if you blow your engine and want to stay turbo. otherwise you can do what everyone else does when they blow their engine - sell off the FI kit to pay for the rebuild and go NA before selling the car.

thanks all of this helps, but what are the major things i should look at getting first, and upgrading later. Would it be better to buy a bolt on kit or piece it together myself?

If i do decide to do go with the RX7 twin turbos, do i have to modify the engine compartment any or can i leave it as is...and where can i get ahold of some crosfire exhaust berrings?
