The twin-turbo is a one off. There won't be a twin turbo "kit" for the car.

There is however a single turbo kit that wagner has been working on. The prototype has just been finished, and its on 6derek6's car. Its running on a low psi right now, as they figure out the tuning.

Do note that with any type of FI, you will have utterly massive wheel spin issues as the 6 is a single wheel front drive, open differential.

pretty tight twin turbo setup....that the only pic you have of it? be interesting to see thes setup....i cant figure out weither to get a 6 or not....might just go with a TSX or something, but i love the 6....you guys post me some pics of your 6's to change my mind and keep mazdas!

thanks

TSX = Mazda 6.

They are virtually brothers. The only big difference is, the TSX is a high reving 4 cylinder, while the 6 has a V6 option. If you don't like to rev an engine high, you won't like either car.

The major bonus for the TSX is its slick 6 spd...and the fact its actually a real honda, instead of the wanna be RSX/Civics currently available. (stupid macpherson strut stupidity).

The TSX is also sprung a bit softer then the 6, but that is easily fixed in the aftermarket. The other major difference is the fact the TSX costs significantly more in inital investment...so most people are less willing to beat on it. You can pick up a 6s MTX for around 17-18k.
