Turbo choices..

I have a standard RX-8 and I want to add some power to the car. I feel the car needs a little boost and a Turbo I think would just do that.

Any advice? I dont want to spend crazy but I dont want a crap turbo on my car either. My car is nice and fresh and a little extra power would be perfect

Thanks..

Since you live across the pond you should explain your goals a bit better and define a budget.
A "base" greddy turbo kit requires some work to be reliable and tuneable and there are just few other choices out there.
JDM-R from greece makes some nice kits too but could you get an HKS f-con vpro tuned where you live?

Considering the location you may also want to hook pettit racing UK, Robbie could let you in for a ride in his supercharged rx8. I'd prefer to go turbo but availability and support may be a concern for some... plus if all you want is a beefier power curve it could be the perfect choice for you.

Hope this helps!
