Its been almost 6 months since i put my little 1.8 94 miata back together since the cylinder head was cracked internally and spiraled to a oem engine overhaul with fm2 turbo kit and recently getting mspnp.

She did great but i would notice that after every run i would come back and my lifters would be noisy till i held the rpms at 2k and would the noise would calm down.. its a new oil pump but now i'm worried that im starving oil at high rpms. so i have considered putting a baffle in the oil pan if thats my problem or switch over to Solid lifters..

Any thoughts would be great thanks.

noisy lifters are just normal. espeically when oil gets hottttt.

Yes. Or build your own.

You're putting a lot of pressure (no pun intended) on the stock oil system with a turbo, just on the street. And then you're tracking it. If you had a oil temperature gauge you wouldn't be asking us, you'd already have bought one.
