The first of these changes was to incorporate a new intercooler tank design that allows the factory bumper bar to be kept without modification for customers that want that while retaining the look of the original system for those that want to show off their intercooler. [This change alleviates all safety concerns previously voiced regarding Intercooler placement]

The second change is regarding Wastegate placement. After countless test and fluid calculations we decided to move the wastegate to where the manifold is located instead of having it in the engine bay. The reason for this change is flow improvement. We expect to see a reasonable gain in whp at any given psi accompanied by a noticeable reduction in EGT's as well as the obvious drop in the temps inside the engine bay. There will also be less need for heat shielding in that area of the engine bay and customers with after market pulleys will be able to see them without obstruction. The overall look/appeal of the kit will not change as the wastegate was not visible when the engine cover was on anyways. All kits will now be shipped with these changes, all kits that have been Shipped before the changes where incorporated can be sent to us for the update free of charge, customer must send us their manifold/downpipe/wastegate so we can perform the improvements.

We are committed to the RX-8 community and are working hard to get you a quality product with the best possible power/reliability ratio. We are not affraid to make changes if we determine that they are necessary and will increase the performance/reliability of the kit when isntalled.
