You kind of answered your own question. No one is really sure, but we will see shortly, as a few systems are on the brink of coming out.

If you can't afford a new engine, tranny, or other large repair bill then don't add a turbokit to an N/A car, especially one as unproven as the RX-8.

IkeWrx is right, even though he is the "troll king" j/k. If I were you I'd wait for the kit to come out, then wait another 6 months for others to install it and test it out, see how many trannys and engines blow, and any other problems that may occur, before you blow your money load. I'd love to spend the money when the sytem comes out, but I'm gonna hold my load as long as I can. :D
