For the MS 8? From what I've heard Mazda is currrently testing both supercharger and turbo applications for the 8. Both are working, but have had some heating issues in hot areas. I heard that from a reputable service advisor at my local dealership, but we all know how their word can turn out to be.

A-Spec GT Dual Ball Bearing Kit for the Mazda RX-8

We will be soon coming out with a Mazda RX-8 turbo kit. We all know the RX-8 needs a little bit more torque, so we decided we will have our unique solution to that problem. A turbo is a great way to reuse the wasted energy that the rotary engine can produce during its many exhaust strokes. Our manifold design will take advantage of the unique characteristics of the RX-8's exhaust ports. It will utilize the newest Garrett GT dual ballbearing turbo for fast spoolup and great top end. This turbo kit will be sold as a complete package with upgraded injectors, Tial Blow Off Valve, Bar & Plate Intercooler and EMS. Our fuel injection solution will convert your RX-8 to speed density for your primary load reference. We will use all the great materials, quality, engineering and service that has made our other kits such a great seller for us.

PRICE : TBA

I wish they would hurry up. I know they make some nice kits for FD's. May be I'll drop them and e-mail in about a week (once I move).

Hopefully less than one. I want as much competition as possible to yield the best quality and price possible for turbo kits for our cars.

I spoke to them on the phone in the early spring of this year. They told me at that point that it would be relased during the summer. My questions to them were based purely around emissions legality and if the car could possibly pass the OBII plug in test with all the hardware installed. Their comment was it would kick error codes. They didn't directly say, but just from looking at everyone else's issues and how they spoke about their kit the problem seemed to again be the PCM. In any event, good guys to talk to, they seemed very knowledgeable, to say the least.
