Its starting to become a Porsche How much crap can you cram into a small space! Here you can see our turbo piping, downpipe, and headers. We have been doing alot of work with TurboSmart and very impressed with their wastegate and BOV. The wastegate is a VBand style and the head is much smaller then the Tial 44mm giving you better clearance. Waiting on a couple block adapters and we are in the home stretch!

That statement right there shows how little you actually know about the chassis you are working with. Having built/tuned numerous 20B FD's, LSx FD's, and worked around plenty of RX-8's, I can say from experience you are likely to encounter bump steer issues that will be more than apparent under normal driving conditions (assuming the subframe has been modified and suspension geometry has been altered). You will need to take the necessary steps to correct for this.

Maybe you should accept the constructive criticism given in this thread as opposed to avoiding/arguing against those that do actually have knowledge to lend. Just a thought...
