i am using it now, but i will upgrade it with the resonated midpipe. i don't know, it's good, but i have a problem with increasing the boost. it stays 7psi, even if we increase the boost %, it's still on 7psi, and my mechanic said that i need to chang ethe midpipe, but it will be louder. that's all

I'm putting together my greddy kit, and debating on buying a RX7store midpipe from my roommate. My only concern is noise, and smell. I've had midpipes on previous cars I've owned, just not on my 8. Currently I have the HKS legamax and stock cat. The sound is perfect.
My roommate has the RX7store midpipe and legamax exhaust and it's loud as *****. When I ran a midpipe on my TSi, I'd come home with a slight buzz from the noxious gases. And I've heard bad things about RP's highflow cat in terms of plugging up.
I was thinking about cutting his pipe and welding in a highflow cat.

We just finished installed the Greddy Kit on a 2007 RX8. After starting it up and letting it run it seems to be burning quite a bit of oil. There is oil in the intake piping. We don't have an catch can installed yet. The exhaust burns blueish smoke.
My questions are:
What could be causing the blue smoke?
What would be the steps to fixing the issue?

No. Wasn't one with the kit. I read this thread and realized we should install one.
Well, the oil restrictor is in place. However the engine seems like it is running on one rotor now. Last night the car was running fine (except for the excessive oil burning) Now we have no spark to the rear rotor. We have swapped coil packs thinking that may be the issue, but the rear rotor still will not get spark. The plugs appear to be fouled (gas/oil), but swapping the plugs from front/rear still doesn't get us anywhere.
On a side note, we removed the charge pipe from the throttle body and there was a pool of oil sitting in the pipe. And when I say pool, I mean a couple table spoons of oil. Is that normal if the oil restrictor is NOT installed? (Car hasn't ran WITH the oil restrictor in place)
The only thing we did tonight from last night was install the oil restrictor and install a Greddy Electronic Boost gauge. The gauge was tapped into the power wire near the Emanage harness. The 15amp ENG fuse blew after we installed the gauge. We removed the boost gauge and replaced the fuse, but it didn't change anything.
We are about ready to drop it off at the dealership to see if they can get spark.
Any suggestions now?

Sounds like there was more damage than just the fuse.
First step is to look for another blown fuse, that one provides power to the ECU, along with several others - step two you may not like.......
