And this statement makes so much sense..

A cold air intake is part of the package.We understand that it is important to get as much cold air into that turbo as possible.We located the airfilter in the front of the car so it gets as much cold air as possible. Details like this is what makes the Speed Force Racing turbo system superior to anything else being offered for the fourth generation RX-8.
Sounds like they are building a Honda Civic..

Why you ask?? Well, first of all, intake restriction is more important than temperature. I rather have zero 90 degree bends than try to suck in air from the front of the car...

Second, this is why you have IC

Third, this kit comes with pre programed map. I'm sure its tuned for conservative not peak HP (which I'll be scared to run or turn the boost above 9lbs). And second, 6 x 550s, top fed injectors.. well, I just don't quite trust running them 100% or close to that with this set up..
