Yomoms thinks my turboz iz big?!? Lol sorry couldn't resist
I'm no expert so I don't know how well I chose size. I just went for frame, turbine AR and compressor size that matched what the original kit came with and then did some searching to see what others were running. Fazda actually saved me from going to small on the turbine. Thx again!

yomom, hope this helps with what you were looking for. Here's a pic of my intake. it is 3.5" all the way to the silicone 90 at the compressor inlet where it goes to 4". I have a screen from my MS CAI just before the MAF housing and used some other pieces of the CAI. I got the couplers from a local place that makes them. You can get the polished pipe on eBay pretty low cost and the recirc tube I got on eBay as well. You can get the MAF housing from places like Treadstone.

You are the man. Thanks for the help.

Driving my unreliable rx8
38mm is too small regardless of location
Too bad you didn't get the oil-less center. CT has some nice offerings, a 6065 would have been a better balance IMO. A rotary typically needs more turbine flow relative to the compressor. A Tial turbine housing is worth every penny too.

Found a leaky coupler today. Not a huge leak but a leak none the less. Should have that fixed along with moving the O2 sensor farther upstream next week.

I am pretty sure it is 1/8 ID, which I believe would be a -2AN. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I used the existing bolts, just replaced the old line itself wit the new SS teflon line and new crimps. It is not difficult, but it is time consuming. Once you start messing with them be prepared to follow through. On the line that I replaced just removing the injector bolt caused the line to snap because it was so brittle. You will have to remove the UIM and a plate underneath. If I remember correctly the bolts on the OMP are 10mm and the bolts for the oil injectors themselves are 19mm. I think I also had to rotate the VDI actuator out of the way. I only did the one line so far to see how it held up, so far so good. I will eventually get around to the rest.

Zoom-Zoom!
I just had to post some logs here and give FazdaRX_8 props he is a tuning wizard! We are about as far as we can go for now. MAF is about 0.2V from being maxed and CalcLoad is up to 215%. Looks like there was some knock in the 3'rd gear log as timing got pulled, so Fazda touched it up a bit. Thank you man, you are AWESOME!
This thing is fun again
I need to look into tires as I find it breaking loose in second and third gears. Holy crap that scared me
Previous to this weekend I was running into some sputter at high RPM but swapping out coils fixed that. These logs are currently running on a new set of OEM coils, 9psi boost. Charles is going to look at my BHR coils, thank you Charles, you rock!!!

You can make out the boost gauge, hit 10psi both gears. I have yet to even look at the logs, just posted in a hurry. Gotta run, hope this is helpful at least somewhat

My bad in the naming. I'll post the previous in CSV when I get back to the office.
