Some pics of my rear mounted turbo build for my RX8

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.

That's what my friend said when he bought a carburetored FC3S drag car...

That bitch never ran right after the conversion...

Rear mounted turbo for the RX8, hmm I like it. The welds on the piping do look a little on the rough side, but as far as the system design thumbs up.
