Starter Turbo Kit

Starter Turbo Kit
I'm looking for a very inexpensive turbo kit and think I found one. It's a JDM universal t3/t4 turbo kit. I wonder if this particular one will fit my 2005 rx8? I've searched everywhere except for fellow users. Any suggestions?

Most "turbo kits" you will find on the internet don't have exhaust and intake manifolds......there is a reason they are cheap
The Greddy kit is about as cheap as you are going to get...and then you still need to upgrade stuff to get it working properly
Your best bet would be to buy a used Greddy Kit...and hope the Turbo is OK...or plan on getting it rebuilt or upgraded as part of your initial costs

Any universal kits will probably require some fabrication to get working.
If you want a "low cost" kit made for the RX-8, check out the Greddy kit. Not the best, but inexpensive enough. There's also a used Esmeril kit that needs a new turbo for sale in the classifieds.

Very inexpensive + turbo = not a good idea. Get quality parts + someone qualified to install if you don't have the know how and someone who knows how to tune without blowing your engine up.
Going FI requires a lot more than you might think if you're looking at some "universal one size fits all" type of setup.
