I have blown mine a few times now since I put on the turbo -- blown the coupler off the turbo that is. I even replaced all the GReddy connectors with metal clamps as per MazdaManiacs suggestion.
Over 1000 miles and no problems -- still need to get the tuning perfected however. I am set right on 7.5 lbs. right now.

4+ months now since the 1st turbo installs -- and I still have not heard of any "blown" blown rotaries.
In the poll, 64% felt the RENESIS would go no longer than 3 months.

also probably people who go out and beat on their car, and expect everyone else to do the same, but not realize that most people putting their car under "pressure" (haha, i made a funny) understand that they are spending 4000+ to void thier warranty and so are going to not try to destroy their investment.

How many naturally aspirated RX-8 owners does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Eighty two! One to turn the bulb, and eighty one to lament that it'll just blow in three months!
::baddum bum::
Thank you, thank you. Is there anyone from http://www.nasioc.com/ in the audience...?

hehe - all the others to obsess over your BOV. lol
If I string it on a chain and hang it around my neck, will that work?
Nope.
What if I weld it to the hood where the M badge is?
::sigh:: Nope.
Can I touch yours?
Yeeesh!

Shouldn't the joke be:
Q: How many RX-8 owners does it take to install a turbo?
A: All of them - one to install it and all the others to flame each other about it on the internet.
