. more pics pleaseWith the F/IC I'm hoping to get rid of the MAF alltogether. It's been reported as successful. The AEM does VPC ----. neat! I'll be shooting for about 220whp. Not gonna break any records but it should be fun enough. I live in the city anyways so I rarely get to go over 50 in the city and 90 on the highway. Figured the 14b would be a good match for my situation.
The first car that was HMT'ed that I ever rode in was a turbo miata and I've always wanted one since. That was like 10 years ago!

Re: Miata build thread
Got my manifold bits in so I started fabbing. Figure it'll take about 3-4 2hr sessions. Yeah I'm slow. Ordered some oil lines today. I got everything I need now except post-turbo exhaust parts. I'll order them with my next check which will all I need. Ordering is the easy part. Fabbing and tuning = teh hard *****. Took me a while to get some settings right. The GLOB of weld is ugly yet functional.
So far....
Using a piece from the stock manifold's collector to connect manifold to turbo. Still needs a bit of work before welding.
