hey guys, i'm getting a greddy turbo installed in a couple of weeks with a few other things. I read this thread and kinda got scared https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-faq-9/first-time-rotary-owner-read-before-you-modify-your-car-15505/
Is all the addons, like pulleys, tubular headers (i dont know where to buy that), midpipe really necessary? I mean are the addons meant for cars racing on tracks or for daily drivers? I dont care about racing the car on the track, just want to use it as a fun daily driving car.

I read about the Greddy RX8 car mods @ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4570012836
and I didnt see any mods that were mentioned above.

Its a bolt on it will work with stock parts...
you will not need upgrade your fuel system, high flow fuel pump, radiator etc.....

I don't necessarily agree with this guys post. It really depends on where you are going with your car. Since you already got a turbo kit, the aftermarket air intake won't fit, the kit comes with a modified exhaust manifold/header, and pullies are useless for this car (especially for the money you spend). Adding a midpipe/hi-flow cat does not need ECU tuning. Also, it depends what you are looking to do with your Greddy kit. If you are looking at 6 (standard tune) to 8 psi of boost, larger injectors, high flow fuel pump, radiator upgrades are not needed. If you want to go to 10+psi then yes.

Overall this list is pretty sloppy.

I would also suggest getting the increased oil flow pump:

Thanks for the clearifications. I wasnt planning on takin the car more than 6psi - just to be on the safe side. That's good i dont need to upgrade everything. :D
