Turbo'd RX-8

The name kind of says it all, even if the car is back N/A again LOL!

I have a bunch of friends with RX7s and figured I'd come on over.

I'll post more pics later when I'm not on my cell phone hopefully.

Always wondered, what sort of fuel economy do you get now that it's boosted?

It was AP tuned and I got around 24-26 on hwy max. Boost only kills MPG when you keep your foot in it. On my DSMs my turbos were so big that I actually got BETTER MPG because the car stayed out of boost.

As far as the reason I went back N/A is the fact I planned to go S/C but my new sponsor has other plans and it looks like I will be going turbo once again.
