mazda was having problems with the reduced exhaust heat created by a turbo, ruining the efficiency of the cat converters. A turbo RX-8 just would not pass emissions, period, which is why some people think that they will supercharge it soon.
Mazdaspeed has been working on a model that has the conventional placing for the turbo and such. The original RX-8 setup is just another example of retarded Mazda engineering. Kinda like having a coolant pipe in your Upper Intake be two inches long and nearly impossible to replace correctly.

So true. I think their engineers design it so most people just can't work on it with out them "special tools" and very tiny hands and long arms.
God knows they did that to my car. "Hmm, we need coolant to this part of the block... Why don't we put in a 90 degree bent rubber hose thats 2 inches long?" "because that would be retarded and hard to work on" "exactly!"
