The only thing I dislike is where they mounted the BOV. It's lower than the oil pan... I would reweld the BOV to a different location.

Its the wastegate and it doesn't posses a problem. We tested this setup in real world situations and didn't have a problem. Not only is it between the wheels, its also right behind the passenger wheel and not in the middle. Even if you go over something, you'd have to drive over something high enough to reach the bottom of the car and have it pass right behind the front passenger tire without letting the tire get on it to touch the wastegate rod. The rod comes unscrewed as well, when he screws it back into position it won't be as low. Also note that the cross member is not on the car in the pics, so the wastegate seems to protrude more than it actually will when the install is finished.
Chris Stuff I still have to do before first startup: 1) install upgraded secondary injectors in the lower intake manifold 2) install radiator & fan assembly 3) install oiling system (sandwich plate & return line) 4) install intercooler and piping! 5) finish my gauge pod (needs one last layer of resin and final sanding then I can paint and mount it) 6) install my WBO2 & boost gauge 7) plug in my Interceptor X |

Hey, Des Moines isn't too far away! Are you coming to the meet April 19th in Omaha? I think we have 5 Iowans so far going for sure. We also have a group on Facebook for Iowa RX-8 owners, just another way to try and stay in touch with other local owners. We try to have little meets in CR every once and a while but we've really just started, most of us just got our 8 last summer. Look us up on the Facebook page and join up!
