Once I have the TURBO KIT, I will then buy everything on that list^^^, if not at the same time. Once I have all the pieces to the puzzle, the INSTALLATION process will begin. Beggining the INSTALLION proccess I will order the COBB AP from MM for Tuning of the New FI RX8. I will be running an RB race pipe with DUAL RESONATORS on stock muffler w/ aftermarket 4" tips for the time being (which I already have). Pics will start to be uploaded towards the end of FEB when I receive the Turbo kit Shooting for a completion date at the end of MARCH and hopefully in time for THE ULTIMATE SOCAL DYNO DAY and hopefully get it tuned by MM (If not I'll trailer it to AZ) 
.... Im looking into getting the RB oil filter adapter and water adapter. Any other suggestions?

Take a picture of your stock exhaust with the 4" tips, you can start with that....or you could just send me a picture haha and explain if it changes the note throughout the rpms
I too am going turbo as well...I already have all the parts...just waiting to get home from Iraq (1 week left!!) I don't know if I'm motivated to make a turbo thread though! Good luck with the build though, and look forward to seeing how it turns out for you.

Lol I'll make sure its on a shitty road with potholes and speed bumps
.... put the odds of winning in my FAVOR Thanks man yeah, once and right and GREGS as a mentor (with his experiences) will be of big help in this install. Im following KONIGS because he has Gone 10k mi and still running strong
It will be first but not yet, but I haven't had any struggling with starting the engine or Power Loss at all.

^ but more torque No? Faster acceleration .... I'm hoping a bit faster than MTs... with NA mods 
still reading a lot more on the subject, but its for sure in the works .
TILT- blue rpf1s or black like TOPGEAR 8 on NT05's › AZENIS... better wet traction.
