you want to boost 15-20psi on a daily driver?
good luck
I suggest you start by doing a few searches and reading up on the FI options available and results people have had.

what year is your 8?

reason I asked about the Model year of your RX-8 is because you posted this in the Series II subforum which is for 2009+

what kind of hp goals do you have for your car?
I would go into the Series I FI/ horsepower subforum and start reading up.

Can we start over, again, the boost vs flow argument as well? I have too much free time!

to the op: It's full of threads that answer your question in the major horsepower upgrade forum section!

Got 9 grand to spare for series 1?

Series 2 you need 20 grand as there is no tuning.
