Turbo on RX-8

i bought a 05 rx8 a few weeks ago as my daily(yeah i know a daily 8 in new england isnt th best idea). my other car is a 1980 sa. i love my 8 so much even tho ive had a clutch problem with it since i got it. iam glad i sat down and read this thread. i can read this stuff all day long.

yeah i would love to get more power out of my 8, but like spock(mazdamaniac) said in a way........ most people would rather have a streetable screamer that they could drive every day then a super high hp car that they have to baby drive 90% when they have it on the road. i drive 100 miles every other weekend in rush hour traffic to hang with my friend for the weekends.i drove a buddys wrx sti up there once that was making 500 hp and id never want to do that again.

mazdamaniac i wish you could help me with the 84 mercury turbo 2.3 capri me and my buddy are building. it has a vain air meter. if you could give me tips on that ect id love you to the end of time. the whole tunning area scares the crap out of me. thats why iam a welder/ fab guy on the capri. if you could do we have to redriect the bov back in to the intake or can we vent it out with a vain. i know we could run with out and just on map but we want to have a car that the motor will last.
