Turbo RX-8!

You can't turbocharge an RX-8. Mazda says it cannot be done. Mounting a turbo on the RX-8's rotary powerplant is all too much trouble; something to do with the clearance between the exhaust and the front suspension.

Luckily, some blokes in Australia never got the word. Or it got lost in translation. Or something.

You can see a turbo RX-8 built by Mazda Australia's Motorsports team at http://carsguide.news.com.au/story/0,20384,17835596-21822,00.html

I want one!
