I have a turbo, I need you're help.

I bought a 2004 rx8 in July this year. I've been using lubricant in my gas. I've done a lot of research on Turbos and blow off valves. I just ordered a turbo. My engine in my car is a 2012. I don't want to risk blowing the engine, Do you guys think I need to put new headers on my car so it doesnt blow? I ordered a turbo, blow-off valve, and a catback exhaust. Do I just need new headers?

I'm closing this thread.

PNanna, you need to do even more research before you will be take seriously. Start reading the threads in this section. Look at what the turbo upgrade vendors have available, then come back here with specific question.
A turbo will shorten the life of your engine and since you are no longer stock, you will have to do a lot of the work yourself.
