With $5 gas though.. figure 10-20% better economy, that offsets it a LITTLE bit :P
Plus less chance of knock making your engine go boom, that's 2-4grand for a rebuild.
Direct Injection makes even more sense with turbo than NA.
I've always wondered why the renesis wasn't direct injection in the first place.

lets hope for some nice porting area* ... looks very doubtful that mazda would employ FI in the 16x but you never know seeing more manufacturers release turbo variant engines may provoke the FI push for mazda. I think they will try to match nissan's 350z power to weight.
my friend from osaka has said that one of the japanese new car model articles had stated 16x would be production ready late 2010 he guesses the rx8 will get it.
