It's interesting where their website doesn't list any phone #s to call for information. It seems like they prefer to communicate via email.
I personally wouldn't trust any company that doesn't post their contact phone #s on their website.
I did a lookup on www.racingworks.com and the admin's contact number is 407-302-1234 (lake mary, FL)... and guess what, you'll get a voice mail (at least I did).

Last time I spoke to greddy, about a month ago, they some times next year. They were still testing turbos for spool time and what not. More than likely the turbo will be around the size of a 14b (factory 1g DSM). I want to guess that it'll be smaller than that. Personally I never liked greddy for the actual turbo kits, with the exception of the integra kits, and even that isn't the best for the money. You can always piece together a kit for CHEAP, but being that this car is so new, fabricating exhaust manifold and IC pipes isn't going to be cheap. Not to mention no one knows how the motor will respond to boost. But I'll tell you one thing. If greddy can make a turbo that spool decently and not let the car bog forever, and give us the ability to spank street mustangs.. I'll be all over it. Another thing I love about the greddy, (and what made me hate my DSM) is that it's street legal!!!

Seriously though, I can get you one if you need one.

come on, stylis, it's not that hard, especially for you. you can even modify the stock headers to work with a turbocharger. just have the exhaust flow into the turbo, and have the exhaust side of the turbo go to the stock exhaust piping. put a ram air intake into the ambient air inlet and put the outlet to an intercooler and then to the throttle body. or, if you are running really low boost, just run the outlet of the turbo right into the throttle body with no IC. see, it's easy.

I had a GReddy turbo kit on my Miata. It really wasn't that bad. It took the stock 1.6l from 116 to a claimed 150hp, but since it wasn't intercooled, once the turbo heatsoaked power would drop to around 135. The plus side was that it was smog legal and could be easily upgraded.
It used a TD04-15G which could support 12-15psi if you added a decent intercooler, engine management, larger injectors and a better downpipe. It was well worth the $1100 I paid for it. If GReddy did a similar kit for the bB, I would consider it. For now I'll keep planning my 2ZZ swap. :)
