Hello everyone,

I am an owner of a 04 manual RX8, as well as a 93 RX7. I would like to increase the performance of my RX8 and am curious how easy it is to install the Greddy Turbo bolt on kit. I am basically a novice in the mechanic area, but do all my simple work (brake pads, oil changes, fuel filter change etc. etc.) Is it a good idea for me to install the turbo myself? Or is this something I should definately have someone else do given my limited experience? If I do the work myself, what tools should I consider purchasing?

Also, I notice that the Greddy Turbo is not "street legal". What exactly does this mean? Does this mean my car will fail any emissions inspection in the future? If so, is there an easy way to turn the turbo off, or perform some easy function so that I would pass an emissions inspection without completely taking the thing off?

Any additional thoughts on the matter are greatly appreciated.

I would really love it if my 8 was as fast as my 7!

Check out the install help thread but it took me a week, working at night on it. About another week working bugs out. I was and pretty much still is a novice, so I took my time and I did it on jackstands so that makes it longer.
