Did a quick google on t66 turbo and rx8 and that showed up. from the first few posts it doesnt look possible.

Good luck.

Cool Most....

Most turbo upgrades start with the Greddy kit, and use their manifold - if yours won't bolt-on you would have to start from scratch with a custom manifold.

It can definitely be done.
Can it be done by you?
Mr. Acostaracing gave up, never completed the job.....
