Stock boost is 10 psi. Don't go any higher with stock ecu and stock fuel system.

There is no need to install the RX-8 tranny in an FD. The existing tranny will hold at least 500 rwhp and is geared perfectly for a road car.

the 8 tranny is easy, but the gearing is all wrong for a turbo car. not to mention it's weak and you'll probably break it promptly...not worth it.
