And this is my buddy Johns turbocharged RX8 that he is selling for about $20,000.00 .I know this sounds like deja vu but I'm no good at uploading more than one pic at a time. Once my car is tuned and cleaned up I will post numbers and better pics.One bit of advice to future boosters RESEARCH AND STACK YOUR LOOT AND BUDGET your project!!!!

What kind of aluminum radiator are you using? Also, is that kit custom fabbed or is it from SRT? The piping looks kinda like how the SRT kit is setup.
PS: That's a very bad spot for the FIC. Since you have a vented hood, water can make its way into the engine bay pretty easily. Even if you don't have a vented hood, that's still a bad spot for the FIC because it's near the opening in front. It's best to run it into the cabin so it will never get wet. Trust me, your day will go from bad to worse very quickly if the car dies in the middle of a carwash or rain storm. If you were wondering, the FIC is not water resistant/proof.

^^ yup! you have exposed wires right where the hood and fender seam is..... you're just asking for trouble. Relocate it to the cabin or enclose it with your relay panel.

Yep, it never ends lol. It sucks but that's the just the cold hard truth. I thought I was near the end, but now I'm kinda feeling the HKS turbo isn't doing it for me anymore lol. Time to go to 80mm+ turbo, 1600cc injectors, and very big fuel pump
