Well...all i can tell you is that, It's all about tuning it. Anything will work if its done by a professional who truly knows about your car. Then the next thing is $$$$$!

The 07 + Rx-8 is an easier canidate for FI. just because it's a 6 port motor there are many more availble maps

Hey CbRotary. Attached are the requested pics of the vac source for the boost gague and BOV. The other pic is of the vac source for the Wastegate coming off of the turbo's charge pipe.

If you don't mind can you tell me how much total you spend on your turbo? what kind of tools you have other then gauge and cobb?

To date for AFR sensor, Boost and AFr Gauges, used greedy kit, + rebuild kit for tubo, new sillykone hoses, hi-flo meow meow, and some payed labor and tuning.

$3825.
Doing it yourself saves a boatload on labor dollars.

That's the best place for the Greddy turbo. that's where mine and I think just about everyone else that has the greddy place the WGT vac source.

Do you have the boost controller on or off when you see the 'spike"? I don't remember from yesterdays conservation?
If it's on which it sound like it is, turn it off. Go for a drive and you should see around 5psi.

Do anyone of you know what's the difference between RE-Amemiya trust turbo kit and Greddy's? I know they are the same except the computer set up. And according to them it can push 240 or 270 ps and when Rick's rotary install the greddy turbo on his car it blew the trans. Is that mean that Somehow the RE-turbo are more reliable and difference than greddy turbo that have to be adjust?

just to let you guys know. apex8 aka rick from (rick's rotary performance in pleasanton, ca) wouldn't do a turbo installation anymore on rx-8. the last time i talked to him regarding a turbo for mu automatic , he said he wouldn't do it and he doesn't want to get involved if anything happens to the engine.

Because Rick's position on the subject is ludicrous.
