Greddy help in hawaii
So I'm new to the forum and the rx-8 and realize I seriously need help. I just purchased a 2004 with the greddy turbo kit on it. However I know very little about turbos. I have read a few threads addressing the issues I am having but still it seems like they are speaking another language. I am having what seems like some typical tuning issues with my car and desperately need help before I lose my engine. If there is anyone in Hawaii that has the greddy or knows about them please let me know.

I don't know how it is tuned. It is running through the e manage from greddy. It has lurching and bogging down during moderate acceleration around 4-5k rpm. It seems like all it wants to do is run full throttle all the time. Also the acceleration is not consistent. Sometimes it takes off like a rocket and sometimes it seems slow. I would have thought it was just tuning issues but from what I read it's a problem with the greddy kit itself. All my problems seem to have happened to others here. Btw I'm on schofield. Any help is appreciated

umm you kinda cant...
Fix #1 is the pump problem and since the AP doesnt mess with it there is no need to cut the wire; Fix #3 also deals with the E-Manage harness, which obviously the AP does not have...

a few more things I would make sure to do:
1. be sure to have your maf in the appropriate size tube
2. make sure the maf gets good readings by using a screen in the intake tubing
3. use a good BOV, and make sure you recirculate it
4. make sure jet air is either hooked up post turbo or if you go pre turbo, install a check valve in the hose.
... there are more to double check but this is a good start

^ +1... switch to the AP and ditch that E-Manage. I went with the AP from the get go and an MM tune and I really have nothing bad to say about the performance of my system
Secondly... Did you not test drive the car before you bought it?
