That's just slightly more than what mazda originally had in mind for the renesis motor before EPA BS forced them to lower performance in teh name of hugging more trees. What they (EPA) should do is target all the coal power plants, the ******** driving SUVs, the idiots who think they need their aircon operating to 19C all day long so they can suck more power while keeping every single light and using the oven to cook a roast while the air con is running.
Amen!

Just do like them guys over at JIC did with their RX8, "go back to the roots of the 13b single turbo" that is if your gonna void the warranty anyways. there will be no question of power increase then.
yeah but that is old hat now. Time to do something new and fresh. Who has not single turboed a 13b? They are a dime a dozen.......

The best way to describe the 8 Turboed is a FD with a DP,Catback and working seq turbos.
