I just got the RX-8 today. After looking at it, there is no space for a turbo kit. A supercharger kit is much more feasible.

If Lingenfelter can TT a C5, you can turbocharge an RX-8. Just run the piping through the suspension like he did.

he can also twin-turbocharge a cadillac escalade xlt...pushing 670 awd hp, or something to that effect.



where there's a will, there's a way.

I saw a rwd volvo with the turbine next to the diff...all of the piping acted as in intercooler. I bet it was a little laggy.
