Greddy turbo + REVi
I couldn't find any info on this by 'search'ing, so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
Has anyone adapted the REVi intake to fit the Greddy turbo? It doesn't look stunningly difficult...some mandrel bends &/or fabrication, but do-able.
I'm going to give it a try, so I was hoping to draw on the experience of someone else who's already done it.
Thanks.

It is do-able and I hope Racing Beat puts out an adapter set for those with Greddy Turbo installed. Do you hear me RB? Expand your intake market to the Turbo RX-8's!!!

If that's doable, then maybe it is also possible to fabricate some ducting used with the stock intake box and the GReddy turbo kit. That'd help hiding the turbo for those hampered with a visual smog inspection (like us in California).
However, suppose the sound of the turbo would still be a giveaway when doing the test.
Honestly, I don't know if the turbo could coexist with an intake box like the stock one or the REVi, simply because of the space.

I really don't see how it is feasible. The intake on a Greddy breaks left right after the intake (turbo is located on passenger side next to wheel) then goes through the IC & up the other side. You would essentially have to cut the whole backside of the Revi off, then re-do all the piping that comes with the unit. The only thing you would pretty much have left of the Revi by the time you are finished is the plastic housing.
