Some pics of my rear mounted turbo build for my RX8

[Rearmount 8]

As I said I will keep you posted on how it runs after the tuning. The guy who is doing it is very familiar with the blue and rotaries so I'm quite confident in his abilities. I used the blue cause I practically got it for free so why spend $800 if I don't need to if I can get this to work. So I figured why not, if it doesn't work then I will go a different route.

It doesn't have any resonators/mufflers but with the exhaust going directly into the turbo it quiets it down enough that it sounds almost like stock (almost) at idle and low rpm's. Now when I stomp on it all you would hear is the turbo.

You don't say. I wouldn't have thought that the turbo would make that much difference. The length of the exhaust before the turbo must muffle quite a bit. Any turbocharged car I've heard in person with either an open downpipe or an exhaust cutout was very loud at idle and cruise, and you couldn't hear a difference when the wastegate opened. Even a TT rear mount C6 Vette was much louder than stock.
