Exactly!!

Lets look at the design again..


Just HORRIBLE manifold.. 5 turns before it hits the turbo (and how long it is before turbo) and GOD, those runners from the engine... GEEZ!! Its like its designed by some idiot who knows NOTHING about turbo... At least Mazsport's manifold looks reasonable..

Then the after turbo.. Another 5 turn before midpipe..

By the way, to put things in perspective... I just looked at what used 2004 rx8 trade in is and its now sub 10K... So, this turbo is 70% of what used 04 might be
