Turbo install help

I have two turbos in good working condition lying around my house they are garrett t3/t4. I wanted to possibly use one for my 05 rx8 but im unsure of all the other components i need to make it run since its not a kit. I know i would need the intercooler and all the piping,waste gate ,blow off valve etc. I was wondering if i someone could help me with a breakdown of all the other parts to make this possible, as far as computer managment and anything else i need. I also know the turbo i have is not the best for the rotary motor but they are just lying around doing nothing and before i sell them i wanted to see if i could use them. I would appriciate any help.

Thanks,

Ponz79

all of the above . It has taken years for the rx8 community to sort out what works in our cars . You are welcome to repeat the same mistakes we have made to get to the point we are at now .
Or you could read up on the subject
