Awesome! I messed around with different seal combinations at the end of the day. OEM has never given me issues. Its a great feeling driving it again after letting it sit for 3 years.

no way, if I ever do go turbo again it'll be a version of a greddy kit and I wont go past 8 PSI.

It was nice having a WB in the collection of RX-8's at the house for a couple of years but I am glad to see her purring again It was a rough few weeks but we got there and that is all that matters.

That's what I was doing and it hasn't failed me in 5 years on the stock Greddy. I was running about 7psi, but installed an EBC this summer and bumped it up to 9.5. Fingers Crossed.


Glad to see you back!

What type of power are you making at 8 PSI? Just curious.

I guess that means you need to buy a new rx8 for your new tubro kit.

I haven't dyno'd it before, typically at 9.5psi with the Greddy people see anywhere between 270-290whp.

Didn't see this until now, thanks man!

I really cant get over how different the car feels compared to my S4, even with blown shocks it is a joy to drive.

sadly can't access the pics of the rebuild, actually finishing mine it would have been quite useful ^^ Good luck finishing it if you didn't already
