Newbie to board, adding turbo to 2008 RX8

I'm looking for information about changing the fuel injectors. I have no problem going this on a third or fouth gen Camaro, but I am just starting on an RX8. I have the injectors that came with the kit, but I'm not 100% sure about the fuel injector swap. I do understand that all I need to do is take out the old ones and put in the new ones, but can you please give me a down, dirty and fast set of steps?

Thanks,

Steve King

How are you going to get it tuned?

Rotaries are very sensitive to the tuning aspect, and you will be coming here talking about how your motor blew in a few months if you don't get that ironed out first.

About the injectors, not sure yet, as I haven't tackled that..
