Popular turbo would be the infamous Davinci Motorworks Af61R turbo. $650 and comes with a 2 year warranty.

$650 is for just the turbo. $2,200 will get you the complete AF61R Turbo Kit installed.

Do you mean that the kit is $2,200? From what you said I am going to assume that is what you meant, but you said INSTALLED? So they will install it for me for $2,200?

Go with Ron's kit... I've talked to several people and done a bit of research to get the same numbers. The AF61r is hands down the best bang for the buck, and it was designed for the RX-7. Nobody has one negative thing to say about this turbo (and why should they?) - it seriously is one badass turbo =P

Dude if that's BB that's a nice price. Too big for almost every two rotor application.

Silly Eric... lol

THe price is $750 for the turbo.

I paid $840 for mine. $750 for the turbo + $55 for flanges + 35 for shipping. (Ron even covered the $12 fee so I could overnight my payment)
