    So had to get rid of my RX8... but I got this instead.

    Just to keep you all posted. My car is in the shop still, I am having the engine taken apart to see what needs to be replaced and having forged rods and pistons put it while its stripped. Hopefully I will be driving her around in the next month...

    I think a lot of it was the radiator and MAF needed replacing. Plus I need to clean the intake filter.

    So they have the radiator, intercooler, motor mount and MAF installed. They are still working on the intercooler piping, since they are custom fabricating them. Hopefully she will be complete by Thursday at latest. I will take some video of some driving to see what everyone thinks.

    Yeah, so got to the shop today. Took them a Mishimoto performance radiator and black intercooler (to be stealthy), ********** front passenger motor mount and MAF to get her back up and running strong. I am having them do custom intercooler piping and I am getting a Turbo XS High Performance...

    So talked to the shop today, they turned the boost down and just got a new all aluminum radiator, they will be getting rid of one of the BOV and uninstalling the turbo timer due to wiring issues. Now just need a front motor mount and a MAF sensor... Anyone?

    Its under the steering wheel. There are 2 switches, one is for the cut out, the other I have no idea...

    Yes I did gap them correctly. I put the Dave B rings from my 99 Protege I had in 2005. Plus there are AWR motor mounts and there is an electric cutout after the down pipe. So the radiator has a bad leak and there is an oil leak. I got the oil changed about 2 weeks ago and it was bone dry when I...

    So I am taking the care by Goodyear in the morning for a new set of rubbers and looking for a shop in the area. Street Unit is 15min away. Do you think someone there could be some assistance on seeing what needs to be taken care of to get it back in good reliable order?

    On the boost level... I dont see a manual boost controller or anything, so until I can get one and get a stock tune thrown on the ecu, it will have to stay as is...

    Switched out the spark plugs to new NGKs, and it runs a lot better.

    I am going to change the plugs this week end, and report on how it runs. I know it still needs a tune or the boost turned down or both... lol

    Yeah I want to get it tuned so there are no problems while I am using it for a daily driver. I dont really care that it runs at 15psi if that is a safe boost level, but I just want it to run with out problems.

    Correction it doesnt top out @ 10psi, I went on the toll road and it is topped out at 15psi...

    #354 is the production number. I dont have a stand alone or piggy back, so looks like I need to use a stock tune then get a ems later when it gets tuned for power. Any tips since I am on a budget right now?

    How do I find out what the production number is? Maybe the person that owned this was on the forums at some point... Any pic requests?
