So when the stock ecu started up and saw rich, it kept pulling fuel until the car stalled. Just a thought....hey, I got the oil pressure problem right....
Unrelated, I didn't see pics of the hood. Did you have to make cutouts for the over the rad piping?

I have run w/o an 02 sensor for about 6-7 months now. Its really the only thing that can cure the lean tip in on my bootleg setup. It runs fine, but gets like 15mph....LOL.

you do have a point....

Actually I just looked at a pic and hes got a PCV valve hooked up. On the other side where the crankcase would normally vent back through the throttle body hes got it un-hooked venting to atmosphere. Thats exactly what I have except I have a little filter and not the long tube still attached.

I'm confused. All that hard work (and big talk of a super secret turbo kit....haha) and you return to stock? Are you going save the setup and work on it after school?

This is a practice kit, and im starting my last year at school. ITs going to be pretty crazy. My g/f is 1.5 hours away from me (lots of driving), I am going to have senior project (which most likley be team leader for building minibaja truck), Im the president of the SOciety of Automotive Engineers, and i work for the department of energy and help with the head of my department's personal consulting. Its going to be a pretty hectic time, and while i might have a few hours here or there for the miata, Im going to want that time driving it around (especially in the misery of Peoira)
And if right now I scrapped the whhole thing and started over. I would only be down $200 in materials evertything else (turbo, emanage, afpr, peirburg) are still good
