Some pics of my rear mounted turbo build for my RX8

[Rearmount 8]

With the filter placement, the exhaust by the filter is just for the wastegate. The actual exhaust is going out the passenger side. There is a shield covering it but it's just not in the pics and it's tough to see in the pics but it is tucked up in there pretty good where with the shield it would be hard pressed for anything to get up on it.

I really appreciate all the concerns on the AP. This is something that I will seriously look into. I know that I definitely don't want to deal with a blown motor but with the AP I personally never got a warm and fuzzy with it I guess that because I've never been a fan of reflashing I've always prefered piggybacks or standalone. I actually prefer to just get a carb and tune it that way personally.
