OMG i love boost. seeing 8.2psi on my log so far. Porting the wastegate helped with creep now i just need to grow some ***** and take it wot. Tune is much better, changed a few settings and it's almost as good as it was.
funny note: New IC is working great, barely seeing a rise in temps; only 3°F on that 8psi pull to 6k, however, my CLT temps are higher

1. Do you have pictures of your wastegate port? I know you did it yourself.
2. What kinda CLT temp difference are you seeing and when, cruise or boost?
Probably between cruise and boost.

on my last car i was seeing more like 170-180 cruise, now im seeing around 190 cruise and the fans are coming on more often. i did block about 75% of the radiator, where before it was more like 40%. plus i still have my license plate in the way
based on my old logs, the IC does a better job, but as i suspected at the cost of the cooling system, hence why I'm making an extractor hood.
pics of wastegate port:
enlarged it 15%, .88" to .92" IIRC, and added a small channel to help the flow.

well since i know the temp just before i boost it, it's kinda like that. 82° before boost, 86° at 6k and 8.2psi....never saw such a low rise before. FWIW, I used to see a 17-20°F delta with my old IC at 12-13psi....so i just need to man up and start tuning boost and taking more logs.

I dont remember, but you had to sac your AC to fit that IC right?
Also, did you do the port with a die grinder on the inside? What did you drill the hole with? Press?

Nope, still have a/c. see my build thread. or check my site under new_miata/intercooler
Dremel with die grinder bit. maybe 20 minutes worth of working, checking with a digital caliper as the work progressed.

You got the hole that round with a die grinder, impressive.
If my **** creeps, I may just have to follow in your footsteps.

you don't have a coolant reroute, do you, brain? i need to do something either in that department or an extractor hood soon. cruising on the highway last weekend, after about 30min at 4krpm, my temp guage needle was sitting probably 2/3 of the way up. i wasn't logging at the time, so i don't know exactly what it was, but i didn't like seeing the guage there, since i'm used to seeing it between 1/3 and 1/2 mark, as far as sweep is concerned...

once the fans kick on, im fine. and yes i have an extractor hood in the works. no coolant reroute bullshit 
im not overheating, just normals operating temps seem higher than my previous setup, which is fine.

LOL so true... (Says the guy who is running stock management while building his MSII
).
levnubhin those temps seem high...I never see above 212 on my Scangauge even when beating on it. This is with stock cooling as well, should drop even more with the oil cooler installed.
