Default Re: Interested in turbocharged( 400+/-) Xfire?

Well it lasted for one post, and I do appreciate the apology, but not needed. As I sad before there are many tuners that are willing to work on these cars. It is a familiar engine and more then enough room in the compartment for some tubing. If I had the money, and wasn't still in college, it would already be finished. But with working part time I can't justify losing my warranty. Anyway, the shop I have spoken with is called Acosta motorsports and they pretty much turbo anything. They have one of the original turbo RX-8's with and ungodly amount of power. 6500 was quoted for about 5 psi, or about 75 hp with a very safe tune and reliability. Of course the idea of building a whole new block to handle 20-30 psi (30 is a stretch) was tossed around, but then your talking a serious amount of money. If more are interested I'm sure they will do a kit to sell, and depending on how well my summer goes I may just donate my car if this is the case.
