The car IS turbo-able. There are several aftermarket turbo kits for it. They make insane power levels compared to what we're used to in the mazda market.
I'm interested in (just looking) at a remote-mount turbo system used on a 928. I'm not normally a fan of these systems because of how inefficient they are but on an engine with such high compression the 6' of charge piping will act as a huge intercooler to help keep temps down. The 928S4 with the STS turbo ran a low 12s w/ a 2.0s 60'....they claim over 425whp on 9.5psi.
If I could fab one up at about 12-14psi from a T25 I'd be doing good....probably in the neighborhood of 300-320whp.

yeah, they have a seperate oiling system however the air filter IS right next to the ground....not ideal like I said.
IF, and it's a BIG if, I were to do this I'd modify the trunk to house the oiling system and possibly the airfilter. I had really been scanning the engine bay to see why no'one has swapped out the intake manifold for a nice roots blower.

a water-cooled roots blower would be great
