That alone is amazing.
I didn't think there was ANYBODY out there with a GReddy kit that still had a functioning RX-8 AND an e-Manage Blue.

You can't even give away e-Manage Blue units these days.
I think I have 4 of them...

Seriously. We are being unhelpfully sarcastic because most of us really can't believe you are going to used an e-Manage Blue for your setup.
It is an incredibly bad choice given the other options.
Even when the kit came out, it was nearly useless with that EMS and believe me, we tried to get the most out of it.
Much money was spent, vast amounts of time and energy as well and, for the most part, the only outcomes were engine rebuilds.

I heard that you can send a rocket in orbit with that piggyback...
Seriously though, trying to run our engine with an emanage blue is like running windows 7 on a commodore 64... It simply won't work.

Well, that other guy might be running the e-Manage Ultimate, which is incrementally better than the blue. I'd even say that, if properly set-up and if the turbo kit is completely, totally stock, left at stock boost and only the best gas is used in a relatively temperate climate, it might survive for an acceptable period of time.

But, that is a lot of ifs...

Not to blow up your metaphor, but the shuttle was designed to operate with computers that were actually less capable than the Commodore 64.
That said, Apollo went to the moon with computers that were not even as capable as the earliest calculators and the SR-71 was designed with no computers to have no computers.

Lets go with abacus...

It won't live long enough for you to raise the money.
And then, you will need to raise the money for a new motor, too.

Then sell the turbo kit to some other sucker who doesn't do any research before they buy parts off the internet, and get your money back.

BC.

I think what you need to realize here is that you are much better off letting the kit sit in your garage for now. If you don't have the money for something better then I'm sure you don't have the money for a new motor. The chance of you grenading your engine go up exponentially once you slap a turbo on, this increase by several orders of magnitude if you decide to use the emanage blue.

Save up some money and upgrade your management system otherwise you'll be posting in the FS section trying to sell a turbo for a car you can no longer drive.

5-6 psi is not a 'safe' amount of boost. hell people blow engines without any boost, dont go thinking single digit boost is somehow less dangerous with less tuning
