then there wont be any intake for the RX-8. if they cant get 7hp with the turbo eclipse, they cant get 7hp out of the renesis. the eclipse is one of the easiest, cheapest cars to tune to a fast street car. the renesis is a hard one to tune.

well im saying its most likely about 5, but AEM will really have to outgun HKS in getting a solid 7hp, i mean if they do get a minimum of seven(lets say their claim is 7-9) i'd buy it for sure, i have one on my FC and it works fine, its just im not intrested in getting big hp with that car as i just did n/a bolt ons to help it breathe better because i drive it hard(touge drifting)

i wold hate to have that on when it rains...or is that not a problem. I've seen a lot of cars with the intake in tha tarea...and they bog like the madness when it is raining / wet out.
have you guys tested it in those conditions?
also i thought the maf had to be a certain distance away from the filter or somethign liek that...or is idles prety bad...or am i spouting nonsense?
