Elliot at www.turblown.net carries custom setups for RX8 bolt on turbo kits. Specify what you want, and he can make it.

I've been out in the gulf of Mexico for 5 weeks, missing my FD and the VC weather! What are the specs of your new turbo kit Greg's, any pics after the body work?

When are you coming back to town? I went with a precision ball bearing 6266 with billet compressor wheel, precision 44mm external wastegate. It's still going to be a bottom mount on a ss manifold. Just put the SSR wheels back on, I'll shoot some pictures this weekend.

I have been soo distracted with family and work has picked up to the point where I am working very long hours. I just got my brand new Bride buckets back from upholstery. The quality of the stitching and material is on nice and tight. I had a local shop that normally does Hot Rods do the work. Very satisfied with the outcome.

Looks like we just missed a pretty large event at paradise Chevy in Ventura. Sounds like they have them every third Sunday of the month. I'll post more details once I find out.
