I need advice on a twin turbo kit
I don't know jack about rotary engine. I came across this ebay listing on a JDM twin turbo kit. Does anyone have a twin turbo in there RX8?

no.
Twin turbos are not a good idea, look at the RX-7 guys; many of them removed the TT and went with a single (larger) turbo. Better performance.
advice: never buy a turbo system for the RX-8 off ebay. You'll get what you pay for...

Kane - good name.
Ebay links not allowed, I put you a nice picture instead.
Who would make the manifold for it?
It's easy to buy a turbo or two, (why not three?) but you need the hardware to put them on the motor....

The question comes up every couple of months from a noob that sees these on ebay. Step away from computer and have someone else close the browser.
These kits are generic and not made for this car. There isn't a way to connect to our manifold, the turbos are cheap & sized wrong, ........ There is just too much wrong to even get involved. Good turbo kits for this car start at about $5000.

I know about buying a no name brand off ebay. I am planning on buying a Greddy turbo kit in the summer. I just came across this TT and I never seen a TT for sale for the RX8 before. I just wanted to see if anyone has one.

Why do you need a pic? He's being sarcastic. You've been a member here for two years... with at least some posts... why don't you search around, since you're not taking anyones advice.

Not to be a dick, but I did not say I wanted to buy it. I apologize for wording the post heading. I did not mean "ADVICE," I meant "INFO." I ask if anyone has a TT in there 8. I just came across a never seen before TT kit for any 8. I am getting a Greddy turbo kit period.
