Default Who'd be interested in a Turbo kit?!?

Hey guys, I'm currently getting a new custom single turbo dropped in my '93 Mazda Rx7 at PHAMSPEED out of Salem Oregon (a new up and coming shop). Anyways as soon as one of the owners found out that my other car is a GS400, he was all excited and saying "I've been wanting to make a kit for GS400!!" Anyways my GS400 would be used for mock-up, and I wanted to see who else would be interested in a kit. He said any Turbo of your choice w/, wastgate, fuel, custom FMIC, and all of the plumbing, and all of the little things would be included....For price he was unsure of but he said for sure he'll beat anybodys, no more than $3000.00.....There is only one catch, that is since I'll be finishing up with my master's program at OSU this summer, the kits won't be started until then. I just wanted to see if anybody else would be interested, and I'm not talking Group buys. Here are some current pics of his work on my Rx7 (custom T63 single turbo set up, 4" exhaust, street ported 13BREW, Custom FMIC, ect..)

Old motor pulled


New ported motor installed


T63 Turbo (will be polished)

I'd also be interested depending on the total price. Would he be able to do it for a gs430 as well? I only live 15 minutes from Salem, OR. By the way, do these guys do really good work and work on suspensions as well? I'm looking for a place to install new shocks/springs/sways on my 2001 gs430 - I'm trying to find a place in Oregon that does excellent work without overcharging.

I'm honestly not sure about the 430's.....is there a big difference in the engines?!? If the demand is high enough he might. As for their work you can check out their site: http://phamspeed.com/ He's still building it, so some of the links may not work. But if you check out "Company Cars" section, you can see his twin turbo'd LT1 swapped Rx7, which he did all of the work. He's building C5 kits aswell. As for the suspension, I'm sure he'll be able to do it, I'll call him for you.

Cool Lexo - I work at OSU so maybe I've seen you around. Do you ever workout at Dixon?

When you call the guy about my suspension, can you ask him about the turbo for the gs430 as well?

Thanks - hope we can meet up some time.
