That turbo on it is the upcoming Greddy kit. It is being developed "in conjunction" with RE Amemiya, but reports say it's all Greddy. This 4 port auto version is the same thing as the 6 port manual version, just tuned differently.

The output is actually 260ps (RW) in the last published tuning of it... RE Rotary magazine vol 8.

I purchased the RE front bumper 2.5 months ago, still waiting. My car is also yellow.

The RX-8 is all about patience I guess.

This is the ONLY front for the RX8 - ALL others look lame in comparison!

I like the rear spoiler height too, but maybe a different style would suit me better.

Hopefully one day I'll create my dream in winning blue...

Oh if only Trust would design a turbo kit for the States. Did they use a TD-05, or a T25 turbocharger? I think RE Amemiya went overboard with the body kits. I've seen bigger intercoolers :D.

Well I'm sure you can ask Amemiya-san himself IF he's able to drop by Sevenstock this year.

Trust used a mixed turbo... td-05 housing with td-06 blades.

I think most stuff made by RE Amemiya looks like ***. But that's just IMHO.

BTW, RE Amemiya didn't build that yellow auto RX-8 turbo by themselves. Trust/Greddy did the turbo work.

The radiator on our RX-8's sweeps backwards at a ~45 degree angle, which would make it near impossible to see at the angle in the photo above. That is definitely an intercooler you are seeing.

above is the intercooler sitting flush against the bumper
below is the angled radiator

Sorry, I have others, but that's the only pic I have of my car w/the RE bumper worth posting. The bumper was taken off a week after and replaced with the Veilside kit.
