i have been in this forum for a long time, and some people help me with my knowledge.
i boosted my car since 2008, with greddy turbo, and low mount Mazsport, now is Top mount mazsport...i took it apart last year to do some changes, and now, my driver side got hit, so while waiting for the body part what to do, i decided to do it all over again and fixing things that needed to be fixed..here are the pics, so people who want to know type of turbos that RX8 can have , mine is one of them..this is just to share my set up..
the pics are before and after..i will post more when everything finishes..

Looks great. Has the engine been rebuilt as well. Looking forward to seeing what power you get out of this beast.

I also like your coil relocation. I have been looking at getting the same done. Can you please provide the details of the vendor that sells these.

brettus, thank you man
question regarding the intercooler, when you had your big intercooler trial, you said that you had overheating issue, did you have the black tray, under the battery and the intake, out of the way so when the fan kicks in, all the air comes out of immediately? you know what i meant? because i ordered a new intercooler, but they sent me a wrong one, which the same size as mine before.,..i never had heating issue, but since i have a different body kit, i am affraid that it will be an issue...btw, i took the tray out (the black one)..

SKC, i have been having the coils since the first time they came out...
there are lots of coils out there, but mine is MAZSPORT..i don't know if ppl still try to use my type of coils, since they have a problem with the ignitor, but you can always contact rx8performance to make one (note:ppl have a bad and good experience, for me, he is helpful) ...most of ppl now use ls coils, and they just make a longer wire...
pm me if you want, so i can arrange something for you so you are good...

Yes I had the undertray in place . The issue was that there was insufficient gap between the bottom of the IC and the tray . The air is slowed down and loses pressure too much when passing through the intercooler so cooling ability is greatly reduced.
