^^^ yeah man definately. This has been quite a roller coaster I will tell you that 
won't even mention the # of times I ordered things, and finally got it delivered only to find out it was the wrong size (Yeah I'm talking about those damn oil and drain fittings) Overall it's been cool, just hoping & praying when it comes time for install everything fits like a glove

Good luck getting that intercooler in there, it's pretty tall so you'll have to either cut part of your crash bar or angle the intercooler.
Also you may need jumper harness' for the RC injectors. The RX-8 connector is different than the "standard" J-Tronic connection.

What an exhausting day spent the whole day removing the uim and getting one injector installed
Them things are a bitch w/out the right tools..and don't get me started on the harness. Went ou this evening & acquired some more hardware ( o rings, bolts, etc) and picked up a 1/4 socket wrench & set for all those damn 10mm bolts (that are so agonizing to get to) Expecting things to move alot faster now w/this. The hot side piping is indeed from SFR
As for the IC it just so happens to be the exact same measuremnts as the esmeril so we'll see how that works out...I plane to mount it the exact same way right in the grill area...

My Maf setup will actually be a lil different, per Jeff's instructions my length of pipe before & after the maf should yield me stable conditions.............HOPEFULLY !!

Well finished up the injector install today and got things up & running but looks like a have a small vaccum leak somewhere don't even no where to begin to start? Any Suggestions anybody? Checked and rechecked all hose connections.
My boost gauge is reading -12 to -14 @ idle and my maf g/s is 3/4 as it was 5/6 before. Car wouldn't even idle, but tuned for the leak and set my maf calibration @ idle down. Now it can idle but rough, thinking of setting my idle a bit higher but thats just masking the problem....
All suggestions welcomed...

well I should also add I accidently broke off one of the nipples on the purge solenoid(trying to get it off that damn harness) Could this be the problem? even though that nipple hole is so small(and I mean minute)
