I was told my the tuner not to say who it is yet. It is being street tested as we speak. He will be installing 3 units into 3 customers cars he knows for further street testing. Gains are not mosterous another 30 ft lbs of torque down low where needed was mentioned HP was not but will be pretty decent.



They are remapping the ECU as we speak.



Pics in a couple of weeks.



FYI - He does not want me to disclose his shop because he does not want a flood of phone calls. Its not for sale yet its in the testing phase. I will get pics in a couple of weeks to show if he will let me.

Boost must be way low cause the 10.0:1 compression ratio of stock rx-8 rotors, but this is still awesome news!

I think I know who it might be. There's also a turbo project in Miramar I think I hope to go see soon.
