Yes Blitz has now been the FIRST for the Compressor with TRUST with the turbo kit.

Trust turbo kit is making about 265hp but still working bugs.

Blitz just dropped in the compressor and are getting 215Hp i think it was, but they just put it in.

Neither are for sale yet actually since they are working the bugs.

Anyway I just wanted you guys to be the first over here to know.

Peace out.....

Thanks Jason! At the wheels I assume? 215hp is only a bit more than you can get with a mild ECU upgrade. I hope Blitz can get alot more out of it!

Yeah I hope so too. I think they are working it up very slow, like Trust is.

I have some more info on the Trust kit, also on RE-Amemiya, but im not sure if that cat should come out of the bag yet.

ok haha

that was easy huh?

RE-Amemiya along with Trust will be releasing Turbo kits at the NEXT AUTO SALON. No biggie, but inside. I was talking with the MECH i know up there and he gave all kinds of info, but nothing really more then that.

With all that extra power are is the drive line up to it. I have seen on the other board people breaking the trans and diffs and motors.

Lot of talking going on other there.

I think its from Not knowing how to drive, or taking it to 7000rpms and dupping the clutch everyday, that would do it.

So far from what I have heard the drivetrain is up to the challenge.

The RX8 IMHO is a family sports car, 4 seats, N/A. Does mean thats a bad thing, it just means there are more things to upgrade to get it to a car you can tear up a lot.

edit* Granted Mazda is working bugs out too.
