Bro-in-law just sent pics of the 1.8 rear swap and some of the random goodies I've been accumulating.
This pic makes me REALLY itchy to get behind the wheel again!
Can't wait!

On a TurboXS fitting.

I have a weld on somewhere around here. I'll have to look but $10 if you want it.
If your going the DIY route the valve will fit the OD of a 1" copper pipe fitting. Use a 2x1x2 copper T and it works.

^ speaking of AEM, I just ordered a Truboost EBC from WOT. That ought to be a pretty easy install.
Only thing I'm worried about is the MS install. I don't want to mess anything expensive up...

I thought it was something you had to add? Wouldn't you have to add the solenoid?
hustler - my brother in law is the VW tech, and I know WOT is a VW guy too. Any others?

ok, well we can probably just use the ms to control boost with the aem solenoid. then you use the aem for its digital gauge, which approximately matches the aem wideband. it'll work.

I was thinking, if you were to come to Augusta and walk me through the MS install and help install said solenoid, I could take out the Truboost and put it in the wife's car

Well, him coming to Augusta to help may be wishful thinking on my part, as it's about a 2 hour drive for him and I don't know what he'd get out of it other than the satisfaction of helping a fellow Miataphile.
He may not need to if I say "screw it" and buy a PNP...
