mysql101's turbocharged RX-8
I had to delete my previous picture thread because jackasses (Yazen09 and Dshiznit1489) kept quoting my original post that had 10 photos in it. So each of their replies contained ALL the photos from my original post... I reported the posts, but the forum mods did nothing to trim them down.

Anyway, here's my car in stock form.




Here's the car in the garage.



(I like this garage photo because it clearly shows I had the MS side skirts but choose not to install them. So the next time someone says the car needs the sideskirts, laugh at them for not paying attention)

Engine bay (I'm changing the intake, and plan on using the batt cover so the vented hood doesn't let water all over it)

On the dyno.




Sample results.



Blue is after Jeff's tuning @ 9 psi
Green is me tweaking the boost controller a bit and getting it to get full boost 1,000 rpm earlier.
Red is with no boost controller, I think it peaks at 6 psi.

Video of the dyno:

Video of the car at night:

Give you an idea of stock vs turbo:
