Default RX8

Can it be tuned quite easily ?

ie Supercharger / Turbocharger ?

One of my friends quite fancies one but feel power wise (231ps) that its just lacking something.

TIA

There is a turbo kit available which takes power upto around the 290bhp mark I believe.

Think of how poor the mpg is now when in N/A form (<20mpg) and slap on FI and you'll be lucky to get into double figures!
