My Bro wants extra power on his RX-8. But there are a couple of problems, the Greddy kit has some questionable quality and the pettit superchager is mucho dinero ($$$) A remote mounted turbo would circumvent emission problems and be a bit cheaper any recommendations on such a set up?

hmm, usually i dont think those remote units are a good idea, but for the rx8 it might be. theres a TON of room where the muffler goes, and it already generates a ton of heat back there.
make the boost pipe out of copper, and you might not even need an intercooler... hmmm.... |
make anything out of copper and its gonna be way too expensive.

kevin. lol, yeah, but we want something thats gonna exchange the heat! |
with proper ducting you could make an undercar v or h mount, think of the air velocity down there it'd be perfect

remote mount turbos on vettes are the **** these days!

Cool thanks for the thoughts guys. We all know rotary engines run hot so there should still be a ton of energy at the muffler to run the turbo.

there was a recall, because the muffler/exhaust starts melting the car, heat is fine. tons of room too, stock mufflers HUGE. |
