hi everyone i have a couple of questions i just got a greddy t618z bolt on turbo kit on my 2004 rx8 when i got it back from the people that installed it did nothing but run like **** it feels like i lost power my cylinder 2 is misfiring its running too rich i have a map/ baro sensor high input light on and when i hold the clutch in to come to a stop sign or red light it stalls and the rpms are all over the place from like 900 to 70 and back up to 800 and then stalls but it idles ok it only stalls when the car is rolling and idleing. when i step on the gas it cuts in and out and i stop getting power at like 7600 rpms. i changed the plugs and the coils i am geting spark to all four plugs, and when i go over 80 my traction control warnig light stays on and my check engine light flashes, please help i am doing nothing but spending money to try and figure out what the hell is wrong with my rx8

First error - Your shop did not install it right
Second error - you did not correct the errors before u push it
Third error - You did not "research" the Greddy Kit before you install it.
in short - this Kit came with "huge" amount of problems, so you should have "fix" all of them before you even bother to run it. Obviously you did not do that. So its time to spend some time and do your homework before u spend any more money on it.

I think nycgps did. Yes its most likely not hooked up correctly. With all your car's symptoms its very hard to narrow the problem down. A turbo is NOT a simple bolt on process like exhaust. I'm guessing its completly not tuned correctly. Did the shop you had it installed have any experience with Rotaries at all? How did they tune it? What EMU are you using? Its very hard to give you a solution without more input from you.
You basically walked into a doctors office and said I dont feel right, fix me.

emanage ultimate is a step up......but I would get the accessport from mazdamaniac.
you will have to get a different cai that measures 3.5" in diameter at the MAF sensor if you get the accessport.
I have the greddy turbo with the accessport and never got any drivability issues. It runs a bit lean, as I am waiting on new calibrations.

none. check your other thread. dont use Emanage at all if you want a truly good engine management. you CAN use Emanage Ultimate, but to do it well you need to rewire it the way MazdaManiac did and get his maps. But before you do ANY of that, you need to ensure that the kit was installed properly and has the famous "Greddy Turbo Fixes" done.... which i expect will not be too easy since you said this..
my cylinder 2 is misfiring

nah, with the amount of air he's gonna be able to flow with the greddy kit, he's fine with what he has, just scale it with the AP. Now if he was flowing more air, then it can become mandatory to use either 3.375 or 3.5 ID MAF tube

Your car will work with E-Manage Blue if your car is a Japanese spec RX-8. Simply because they have much LESS restriction in their ECU than the US spec RX-8.
Anyway, if u keep pushing ur car at current state, next thing I know is, your motor gonna blow then you gonna cry.
