I put a 40mm bolt in there right now barely threads but the hardware store wasn't open.
I'll get the 45mm but you guys are scaring me with this.
I found a boost leak yesterday while over at some miata buddies house, they were doing 1.6>1.8 breaks, I was ******* off like usual.
The little VTCS electric valve I think or something on the back of the intake manifold was leaking boost bad. So I plugged the ports going to that.
Still only 10psi, Maybe wastegate spring "settled"?
BUT
Also, when all else fails I developed a weird issue...
Usually only after start up and drive for a bit, hit boost a few times and it goes away. But tonight coming home from work after idling to jump a persons car it did it ALL the way home. (like 1.7mi :P)
But partial throttle, AFRs skyrocketed.
It also did this the night I looked for my boost leak. After I left my friends house to go home. Car jerked and bucked. Didn't see too much AFR's then though.
I never fail you guys! Issues ALLTHETIME.

Do yourself a favor, buy a new whole car wire harness and put it in your car. replace the whole thing.
all of these issues you've had over the last.... since OP.... could have been avoided since you have ratty wiring.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to just tear apart the car and start new. But no garage.
The car is undrivable now. Vacuum leak or something.
Was going to go grab that 45mm bolt go to start it and datalog see if what happened last night will happen after cold start and... yeah you can say it did
Just pops and putters with load. I tried looking for a Vacuum leak by spraying around everywhere with no luck.

Just for **** and giggles I started disconnecting coils.
Get to #4 > disconnect > runs better > connect runs worse > disconnect again > runs better.
Still have to check it out. Going to pull the plug and probably get an inspection camera in there, along with typical compression check and ****.
I'm a little scared now.
