Unless there is a Turbo / Rotary expect in St. Maarten that has done this to an RX-8 before this is not something you should do.
There are MANY threads in this section that covers turbos and what you should to to improve reliability, but many people still have issues. St Maarten is about 37 Sq Miles? How much paved road can there be to even open up a Turbo RX-8?

There is someone much closer to you in Puerto Rico that knows how to make a RX-8 go fast. Seek him out, like Luke sought out Yoda.
