Project (SLOMX-5) 1990 Mazda Miata Turbo Install.
#41
Just finished installing this kit on a 91. I had to remake everything as nothing fit quite right. glad to see yours is fairing better. Per your posted pics, the turbo center would need re-clocked. Oil is on the sides and water is top/ bottom. Regardless of that, the inlet and outlet for each should be opposite sides on the turbo. pics please.

Hopefully he didn't blow the seals on the turbo, or worse..

I bought my turbo used so figuring out the ins and outs wasn't to hard.

Mine is correct, maybe our reference is different so not clear. (Or I am in totally deep dodo) lol In his pic showing the downpipe. You can see the oil port facing the camera. (single hole) On top is the water with a plug beside it. (double holes) The plus is a dummy for a dead end. He would want to re-clock the turbo so the oil will drain properly from the turbo. Supply oil is a banjo fitting, return is a flange. Both water are banjos.
