tuned properly you'll typically get anywhere from 260 - 290. Depending on how much power your car currently makes and how bleeding edge you're willing to go.
I have no before dyno, but I make about 275 whp now, safe tune, not trying at all for power. So stock for a 6MT is 170-190 whp..

Damn almost sounds worth it.....(not really)....but then again I dont have one. Not trying to steal the post or nothing but do you guys feel that it is worth it and are you satisfied with what you have produced?

I'm very happy with mine, It took about 2 months to get it working properly. Not as bad as it sounds, half of the problems I had was unrelated to the turbo - stuff like coils burning.
After the 2 month period, it's been flawless. Really, you'd need to get with someone who has a properly tuned turbo kit boosting at 10-12 psi to see what you get for the money. The stock 6-7 psi feels outright anemic.

turbo: 3,500
mid pipe: 250
boost controller: 300
ems: 1,400
tuning: 300
intstall: 1,000
that's all the basic stuff, i also got a koyo radiator, cooling fan upgrade, and fuel system upgrade as a safty precaution. soon i'm going with a 3 row intercooler, porting the turbo, and putting a bigger compressor wheel in too. so who knows how much i actually spent or will continue to spend.

srt 4 boost guage - free
ngk powerdex afr kit $225
3'' stainless steel exhaust from the turbo back - free

While I agree that the Mazsport kit is of better quality and more reflective of knowing the Renesis, a lot of the periphereal costs of turboing will apply to both kits. With either kit, you will be paying (or doing yourself) install and tuning. Things like a clutch upgrade or gauges will also be extra for both kits. I think the bottom line is turbo is a lot more expensive then just buying the kit.

Its so funny how the average newbie sees the Greddy kit for like 4k, and thinks thats all they need to invest - when in actuality, it's about double.
Great eyeopener

^^ Exactly.
and when their engines blow up, first thing they will blame is Rotary and Mazda. Never thought about their own stupidity
Sure Greddy's kit cost only 3K-ish. but most of the stuff came with the kit are garbage, not to mention their *excellent* customer service. Some of their products are good but basically buy at your own risk.
One bad thing about Int-X is that u need to tune it very often ... somtimes as soon as the weather change ..... thats what I've seen on this board.

I haven't had my int-x tuned for weather changes. Runs great in the heat or in the cold....

We are all saying roughly the same thing. If you think you are going to add 50% more power for cheap you are an idiot. DON'T DO IT. If you have a realistic budget (mine is 10K) and are prepared to spend it without heart burn, then you can do well with any of the kits. I personally think it is worth it, it was def worth the peace of mind to have a pro do it, and have the warranty. Ron's Performance is an authorized Greddy dealer, so they seem to have the customer service kinks worked out.

I am curious though. Why doesnt the Greddy kit, for example, advertise that you need more than the kit to go?
They can be a bit misleading with words such as "bolt on", "kit" and "ready to go"

There is a law about it as for truth in advertising but I forget the exact verbiage, something to the effect that is has to do what it says, so you can bolt it all on and drive away and never touch it again... it just won't be that great.
Again, if you go through a dealer (IMHO), you get that extra info up front, here is what you have to have, here is what you should have, here is what is nice to have etc. Mazda Maniac did the same thing in an earlier post on the Horsepower forum.
