I'd actually start by mounting the turbo first and making sure I could make that half of the equation work. Piping down the length of the car shouldn't be to hard though.

Im starting to eye up my stock exhaust.......... Havent looked at the bottom of the car yet (for fitting purposes), maybe take some pictures. You only need to run 2 oil lines and run a single pipe to the intake manifold thingie right? I was thinking the air intake filter would need to be run under the rear bumper to have enough clearance from water, etc..
At first glance it looks like there is enough space on the driver's side of the transmission/drivetrain to run and mount a pipe.
RG, so can you bastardize turbo's like that?
custom remote mount turbo with a megasquirt .. might be a good DIY in 2007 lol.

If someone were to get the car up on a lift and stare at it a while, they'd find a place to run a 2" pipe from the back to the front. If it can be done on a C6 (twin rear turbos), it can be done on an RX-8.

What are good companies to buy compressors for these one-off installs?
My cousin is an engineer and is talking about using the labs/equipment at FIT to construct compressors.. I don't think i'll be going THAT far lol.
When someone buys a turbo, and I don't mean in a kit, they specify what compressor, exhaust wheel, and a/r housing they want and those get assembled together. You just tell them to use a smaller a/r housing. That's easy.
