Dont waste the effort or money. Save the pannies and do it right the first time. If you went with this, you probabaly wouldn't be happy with it. The GT-45 is a tad big for the 8.

kidus - you probably wondered what you did to deserve the flaming in the other thread . It's because we kinda knew you would come out with something rickydiculous like this and it was an attempt to make you realise that you really need to do some homework .
The info is all here .

Whatever you do, don't listen to Mazdamaniac or Brettus, neither one of them knows jack **** about turbocharging an RX8.
Yeah I have this same kit and it works great. All you have to do is bend a few pipes and you are good to go. so if you have basic hand tools you should be able to install this kit in a few hours.
Here is a pic of it installed in my car

Brettus i saw this coming when i was asking lol.. but i still think its unnecessary.. and immature.. like i said before this forum is made to help people not to harm them.. instead of the flaming could i be lead in the right direction.. which turbos are best, which are the worst, what wont work.. ect.
btw i have been "researching" but i dont see any forums that tell you which turbos wont work..

Not to mention that if you had any basic knowledge of how a turbo system worked you would not be asking if that turbo kit would work or not. Ignorance is no excuse. If you expect people to educate you then you are in for a rude awakening. You may think we are being immature and mean but that is only because you are coming off as a total dip ****.
If I thought you did any type of research what so ever I would help you but it's obvious you have not.
