SFR Turbo reviews, hearsay, warnings,regrets
I did some searching and googleing and didn't find much.Im really interested in the kit i found here and I was wondering if anybody knew anybody who has it and if there is anything i should know before purchasing it. How does it compare to other turbos brands? To me it seemed like this was the best price/performance option I just need a second opinion.

If you can make me the turbo kit that gives me around 350-400 HP ill be happy. In fact id be 100% sold on your kit lol how possible is that? It looks nice. What about pricing? Would it be significantly more than the SFR kit?

Do you know what it takes to run a turbo? If something goes wrong, can you troubleshoot the issue?
Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket, I'd say that you should research a LOT about each specific turbo, and decide which makes the best for your needs.
I'd hate to see someone pay a lot of money on something, and then start a thread a few months down the road stating that it broke...

Turblown.net made beautiful kits for RX8, and they have one that produced above 350 whp with low psi.
MM made some tubo kits too, adn other people too.
i think it's the best for you to do research first...

MM promised to make some turbo kits and took full payment too, yet 2 years later several buyers are still stuck in limbo with no solid answer on final delivery other than a promise it will eventually happen
i think it's the best for you to do research first...

I zoom therefore I am.
easy there champ. I'm not defending MM in any way shape or form. He fucked up and the people he owes money/product to remind him of it here daily. But last I checked he doesn't owe you jack nor ****... which is why i see you trollin.

sure, if you ignore that we're a community here and that it's unreasonable to keep reminding him and everyone else of the situation. Am I an MM h8r or a guy who sticks up for the people getting the shaft? Funny how you don't stick up for the other vendors with the same rethoric. I didn't say anything about this for a long time.
2+ years = no mercy now. A few moved on to different cars now. Inexcusable by any reasonable standard.

you keep saying i'm sticking up for MM, i'm doing nothing more then calling you out for trolling.
and that phrase "long time", i don't think it means what you think it means.

you keep saying I'm trolling, but the only reason I'm being so hard is because I consider him my friend regardless, you have no knowledge or understanding of my personal dealings with him, long time or otherwise ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
it's really easy, just conclude the final kits and this all goes away, otherwise it continues to fester ...
which BTW, thanks for the bumpage dragging it out support

In an earlier post I mentioned a Car & Driver article. That was not the SFR kit. It was a PTP kit.
