Assuming the exhaust still exits on the right hand side of the engine, it might be a problem fitting it around steering linkage, but Greddy is just Trust from japan, so i assume they ahve it running ok on their RHD cars. Not sure if it is a different part number though....might have to check that out.

I think I would actually leave it out.........I like to see these in the rear view mirror ............but you got to look quickly because they usually take the next exit or turn to get away:p

If people don't want them to be heard, just plumb their outlet back into the system after the air filter but before the turbo.

Okay guys, just got home.. it's 630pm EST. Today I wrapped up the BOV and stowing/mounting the emanage, the defi link gauge control unit, and the Defi BF boost gauge. I made sure to take lots of pics. Here are some of the interior of the car where I have the e-manage and the gauge control unit. I used Velcro to attach the e-manage to the very back of the glovebox and the gauge control unit is on the left side of the glove box.
The e-manage may look lopsided, but it' snot.. the bottom of the glovebox is on a slant.

Here are some pics of the Defi BF Turbo gauge in white. Notice in the night pics the gauge matches PERFECTLY with the dash.. I was amazed at how good it looked.

Here are some shots of the GReddy Type S Blow Off Valve. Man this thing is LOUD. The intial setting of the BOV allowed too much unmetered air to get into the intake under vacume when you let your foot off the throttle which caused the engine to stall when you were out of gear and took your foot off the throttle. So we had to tighten up and that solved the problem. I have having zero issues with idle or the engine doing funky things in the middle RPM band when I shift or let off the throttle a little bit. It seems like it's perfectly tuned now. I love this thing.. sounds cool.. looks cool.. and it keeps my turbo from "unspooling" when you let off the throttle from the back pressure. In my opinion, with this GReddy kit, a Blow Off Valve is an absolute must have.

The check engine light that I had on earlier is gone now after disconnecting the battery and clearing the ECU. Both my mechanic and I believe that not having the BOV on to relieve the pressure caused the CEL. Since clearing the fault, I've gone through about 20 drive cycles with no CEL coming on. Everything is running awesome. I plan on take it to the dyno as soon as I can schedule some time. So hopefuly I can get it on the dyno in about a week or so. I have to call the shop that has the dyno tomorrow to schedule. Okay guys, I'm done with the pics and daily update. The kit is COMPLETELY installed now. I'll go ahead and answer the questions that I missed now.

Today while driving we had very very heavy fog, so the roads were a tad bit wet. If I mashed the throttle I could break the wheels and go sideways in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear.......

I have one large question for you. I know on shawrf1's install, they left the stock airbox in place (with some visual mods to it). How hard do you think it would be/how much cutting etc. would need to be done to be able to mount the stock air box back with the GReddy intake system?

You have got to do a video. We are dying to hear what the car sounds like now. Even if it's just for a few seconds. Try and take one as soon as possible.
Great work on posting the pictures btw. We all appreciate it.

Oh, and congrats man. I'm planning to have mine put in around November (when I get back from Iraq and spend the required amount of time with my wife before playing with my car) at Rotary Performance.

Too bad I wasn't there for the CEL. I could have grabbed the code and we would know what it was.

I plan to use the GReddy intake system, I just want to put the stock airbox back on over it for looks. I don't like the huge gap that is all of a sudden in the engine bay (plus I had my engine cover, battery cover, and airbox painted up, and like the way they look together). "Completely gut it" sounds about like what I was thinking.

Ack! This has got to be the most exciting thread in this forum ever! Congrats philodox! Hope it dries and gets sunny out there. We're beginning to get some sun here in Cali. The road is just waiting for a Cali RX-8T.

I don't think I would be able to eat if I were you! Just this thread has me so excited that I actually dreamed last night that I had my own kit to install. Except the turbo mounted up where the fusebox was.... I remember not liking that. :D
