As a few of the forum peeps know, I'll be removing myself from the Overboosted Overlords list sometime soon when I get the time to pull the turbo kit off the RX-8. The motor is still strong as ever, but I've had nothing but problems with the car since I turbocharged it. Most of my problems are directly traceable to the shop that did the turbo installation, but I've invested more time and money in the car than I want to and have decided to revert the car to natural aspiration. I am keeping the RX-8, but I have picked up a new car to cure my craving for boost, a 2006 Lancer Evolution MR... so the RX-8 will be getting a lot less attention going forward. Thank you so much for all of the knowledge and help getting the RX-8 as far as it's gotten everyone. If you want to see pics of the new ride I added an album with some pics.

Any idea where I can find a flexible 1" ID hose to recirculate my bov? As you can see, I don't have much room to work with.

How about rotating the bov downward? It'd be somewhat straighter after that.

Tried that....leaves me inches to work with and it isn't lined up to the recirc pipe very good once its rotated due to the bov angle and my bhr tb spacer.

I used a 90 degree bent radiator hose of the right diameter for mine.... it has enough flexibility for me to muscle it into place.

Thats what I used as well. Just take your Recirc fitting into an auto parts store and browse the preformed hoses for the size and bend(s) you need

Hmm...I will have to do some more searching. Hard to find the right size. My local auto parts stores are no help. They stare at me blankly as they breathe thru their mouths.... I swear they hire the same people that work in the fast food business. They just grunt at me and hope I walk away, lol.

Bastard...haha I was on the phone with you when you were making this POWER! Can't wait to see the results on this machine...

Are you going to share the main key ingredient when you were datalogging, that I am sure people will find even more interesting?

That you got this much power with no BC, strictly wastegate. I was very impressed by the g/s.
